About this episode
Is there a “law” hidden beneath the written law? Hadley Arkes, professor of law for nearly fifty years, and host Eric Metaxas sit down to discuss how the framers of the Constitution regarded the “self-evident” truths of the Natural Law as foundational.
The post Hadley Arkes: Mere Natural Law first appeared on Socrates in the City.
