John Finnis (b.1940)

from Sleep With Philosophy Hosted by Whisper.fm

In the quiet of the night, we turn to the illuminating philosophy of John Finnis, who, with a gentle hand, resurrects the ancient wisdom of natural law theory, finding universality in its embrace. Finnis carefully weaves a tapestry of basic goods such as knowledge, play, and friendship—each strand representing an intrinsic facet of human flourishing, transcendent of time and culture. His thoughtful articulation offers a serene reflection on how balanced reasoning and universal moral principles might harmonize our personal and collective existence. Let us drift into a contemplative repose, exploring how these foundational values cradle our journey toward dawn.This episode is hosted by Brian Miller.
