Natural Law, Science, and the Social Construction of Reality looks at changes in knowledge and the relationship to values from the modern era to today. Natural law is a moral theory that combines our factual base with our values. As our knowledge base changes, so must our values. Author Bernie Koenig examines Newton's influence on Locke and Kant, how Kant influenced Darwin and Freud, and the implications of their work for both anthropology and moral theory. Finally Koenig looks at contemporary feminist postmodernism and argues that it combines a value structure with a view of the nature of knowledge, making it today's natural law theory.
Bernie Koenig is Professor of Philosophy and Music at Fanshawe College in Ontario, Canada, where he has taught since 1973. Originally from New York City, Koenig attended Manhattan School of Music, Long Island University, and the City University of New York, before moving to Canada and continuing his post graduate studies at the University of Western Ontario.
