La Salle: Open Court, 1991. xvi + 268 pp. Cloth, $49.95; paper $24.95 - This book concludes with the suggestion that Aristotelian tradition "is perhaps the only remaining unexplored source for providing liberalism with the kind of secure moral footing it desperately needs" (p. 225). The suggestion seems preposterous on the face of it. In this case, however, the suggestion is a summation of all the considerable analysis that has gone before. The entire book consists of a demonstration of the fact that the quintessentially modern and liberal notion of fundamental rights for individuals ultimately requires the quintessentially ancient Aristotelian notion of nature.
