Principles of a Natural Law Ethic is a textbook in both ethical theory and specialized topics in ethics. Written by Frederick Van Fleteren, the work is composed from a natural law perspective. In the book, Professor Van Fleteren covers the nature of moral activity, the moral agent, the sources of morality, and the human person's final end. He discusses and critiques other ethical theories from a natural law viewpoint. Such pertinent topics in contemporary morality as the nature of rights and duties, private property, secrecy, human sexuality, and professional ethics are covered in some detail.
