1 Natural Law in Jurisprudence and Politics In Natural Law in Jurisprudence and Politics, argues that the central thesis of natural law jurisprudence that law is backed by decisive reasons for compliance sets the agenda for natural law political philosophy, which demonstrates how law gains its binding force by way of the common good of the political community. Murphy s presentation in this book ranges over the central questions of natural law jurisprudence and political philosophy, including the formulation and defense of the natural law jurisprudential thesis, the nature of the common good, the connection between the promotion of the common good and requirement of obedience to law, and the justification of punishment. is Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. He is the author of Natural Law and Practical Rationality, An Essay on Divine Authority, and Philosophy of Law and is editor of Alasdair MacIntyre.

13 Acknowledgments I placed myself in the debt of a number of good and generous people while writing this book. Henry Richardson, Brian Bix, and two referees at Cambridge University Press offered helpful criticism of the manuscript as a whole. I also received comments on various portions of the argument from Nick Aroney, Terence Cuneo, David Dyzenhaus, Bill Edmundson, John Hare, Chris Kaczor, Pat Kain, Matthew Kramer, Brian Leiter, Larry May, Bob Roberts, David Schmidtz, and Paul Weithman. I am grateful for invitations from the Social Philosophy and Policy Center at Bowling Green State University, the University of Toronto Law School, the University of Texas Law and Philosophy Program, and the University of Virginia philosophy department, all of which gave me the opportunity to present and get feedback on some of the material that appears here. The arguments of Chapter 3 and Chapter 6 were developed during two summers spent in Grand Rapids at Calvin College Summer Seminars in Christian Scholarship, one of which was led by Nick Wolterstorff, the other by Jay Budziszewski. I am grateful to Nick, Jay, and my fellow seminar participants for their help, and to Calvin College, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Fieldstead and Company for supporting these seminars. I began work on this book in 1998, when I had the good fortune to be in residence as an Erasmus Fellow at the University of Notre Dame. The book that I promised to work on at the Erasmus Institute a book on natural law theory in the theory of practical rationality, political philosophy, and theistic ethics expanded in the usual fashion and had to be split into three books (Natural Law and Practical Rationality (2001), An Essay on Divine Authority (2002), and this one); I am grateful to Erasmus for its support for a year of research to think more carefully about what shape natural law accounts of politics and theistic ethics should take. I finished this book in 2005 at my home institution, Georgetown University, which generously supported my research with a senior faculty fellowship and several summer grants.

Finally, the Review of Metaphysics kindly granted permission for me to use material from the article The Common Good, which appeared in the Review of Metaphysics 59 (copyright c 2005), pp I am grateful to Ronald Cohen for the great care with which he edited the manuscript and for making many valuable suggestions. I thank him for his work. The final debt I must record is to my wife, Jeanette. I cannot state adequately how much I owe to her. It will have to suffice to say that in everything I do I am sustained by her love and friendship.
