The Principles of Natural Law is a book written by Jean Jacques Burlamaqui in 1752. The book establishes the true systems of morality and civil government based on natural law. Burlamaqui argues that natural law is a set of principles that govern human behavior and are inherent in human nature. He believes that these principles can be discovered through reason and observation of the world around us.The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the nature of natural law and its relationship to human behavior. The second part focuses on the principles of morality, including the virtues of justice, prudence, and benevolence. The third part deals with civil government and the role of the state in enforcing natural law.Burlamaqui's ideas were influential in the development of modern political theory and the concept of natural rights. His work was widely read and translated into several languages, including English. The Principles of Natural Law remains an important text in the history of political philosophy and is still studied by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
