John Finnis's proposal to rehabilitate Aquinas's natural law theory as an appropriate foundation of legal and moral theory rests on the assumption that Aquinas's theory can be restored by eliminating the mistaken interpretations of subsequent natural law theorists. This book challenges that assumption. After a brief analysis of Aquinas, the theories of Suárez, Grotius, and Pufendorf are investigated. It is argued that their theories are no 'mistakes', but attempts at solving problems inherent in natural law theory. As these attempts all fail, tensions remain, and ultimately lead to the demise of the theory. Finally it is argued that Finnis, running into the same problems, cannot hope to restore Aquinas's theoretical edifice.

The present dissertation is a historical and critical research into the doctrine of theologians and canon lawyers on the much-debated question of the legal origin of nullity in a coerced marriage. Authors included in the research start with Thomas Sanchez (1550-1610) and continue onto present day authors. Attention is given also to pertinent highlights of the Church's jurisprudential practice, both recent and past, regarding the nullity of a coerced marriage. In the study particular focus is devoted to the question of indirect fear, which fear gained full juridical relevance in the 1983 Code of Canon Law. [publisher's description]
