The International Theological Law Commission's 2009 document In Search of a Universal Ethic: A New Look at Natural Law is an official, accessible, and original approach to thinking both about universal ethics and natural law. Among other important contributions, the document situates the natural law ethical tradition within the search for a universal ethic.This volume presents twenty-four essays by leading scholars commenting on and critically evaluating In Search of a Universal Ethic in order to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. Along with these insightful essays, Searching for a Universal Ethic offers -- for the first time in the United States -- the official Vatican translation of In Search of a Universal Ethic.
