Inspired by the recovery of natural law and virtue ethics in recent ethical discourse, certain members of the American Maritain Association have written essays to stimulate this recovery further. Their efforts are assembled in this volume, Freedom, Virtue, and the Common Good. Writing under the influence of Jacques Maritain and Yves R. Simon, they herein examine the requirements of a satisfactory natural law and virtue ethics, broadly understood as a moral philosophy giving primacy to character-formation and to the development of individual and social habits necessary to perfect human life. The ethics herein envisioned is one that must first be grounded in a sound philosophy of the human person. Understanding how a human life should be lived first requires knowing what a human life is. This appreciation for experience over theory and induction over deduction equips a genuine natural law philosophy not only to examine individual moral life but also the relationship of that individual life to social and political authority. This latter relationship requires an investigation of the nature of the common good, an important subject for ethical inquiry since it is in the name of the common good that many injustices have been perpetrated, a fact that many natural lawyers in the past have not always foreseen. Aware of the limitations in many traditional attempts to develop a natural law morality, the contributors to Freedom, Virtue, and the Common Good seek remedies and prescriptions that will commission a natural law ethics for a new age.
