Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that the political and legal philosophy he advocates is the same as the one applied by the constitutional framers, Washington (business law and contracts, Davenport U.) argues that the "tempting sophistry" of separating law from morality" is at the root of the numerous problems in American institutions. He present 12 essays, some of which have been previously published, in which he decries the impact of such philosophical approaches to the law as utilitarianism, relativism, egalitarianism, secularism, feminism, progressivism, and pragmatism on the U.S.'s legal framework. His criticism of the effects of these philosophies is coupled with application of his natural law philosophy to such areas as juvenile delinquency, racism, international law, and pornography.
