On March 20th, R. J. Snell gave a talk entitled “The Natural Law: What it is and Why it Still Matters to Policymaking” at the Family Research Council.
The recovery of natural law is the recovery of reason itself, but a full-orbed reason, open and engaged with the various domains of policy and social life, but from a viewpoint of human purpose and meaning. Without natural law, policy battles descend to mere instrumental rationality and tend to become exercises in will, power, and satisfaction, with the likely result of the failure of practicality itself.
You can watch a video recording of his talk on their website.
