In The Natural Rights Republic, renowned political theorist Michael P. Zuckert examines the natural rights philosophy as expressed in sources like the Declaration of Independence and aims to counter contemporary confusion by offering an insightful study of the concept that dominated the mindset of the founding generation of the United States.
“This book will likely come to be regarded as a magisterial treatment of the spiritual and theoretical underpinnings of the American founding. It should be read especially by those American Christians inclined to see their country’s founding principles as more Christian than they actually were.” —Calvin Theological Journal
Michael P. Zuckert is Nancy Reeves Dreux Professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Natural Rights and the New Republicanism and Launching Liberalism: On Lockean Political Philosophy.
