Natural Law or Don't Put a Rubber on Your Willy; Robert A. Wilson Breakout Productions 1987 091517961X / 9780915179619 PAPERBACK
New
091517961X Brand New! Perfect for Resale, Support Radical Independent Booksellers With Kids to Feed! 1999 edition Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 72 p. Audience: General/trade. This booklet was written by Dr Wilson following debate in Ireland about whether divorce is against "natural law". I remember seeing the coverage about this on British tv when this was occurring, in the mid 80s, and I thought then that Ireland must be a very backward country to ban divorce and condoms, for "natural law" reasons. Wilson contributed to a debate on this in an Irish "libertarian" publication, but found his comments intercut with interjections from the editor, and then wrote this, in which he presents evidence that so-called libertarians can be highly illiberal. A great read. He makes the important case that those who "believe" they are doing the right thing are dangerous, as they think that their own interpretation of natural law is the right interpretation for everyone. He also looks at what constitutes natural law in different cultures. debate in Ireland appears especially baffling; he reports that the debate included concern that machines were against natural law. My conclusion after reading this was that perhaps the only way to avoid controversy about abusing nature and natural law is for us all to live like tribal aboriginal peoples.
