Ius et Bonus
Mark Shea's commentary on the chaos:
More on the attempt by godless philosophers to concoct justifications for human rightsNote to the reader: No, you can't justify human rights if you're an atheist except by appealing to power. Not to the others: Saying that something's wrong if it directly hurts someone just leads to the questions of what's direct, what's hurt, and why we should pick your definition if you're a moral relativist anyway.
Step right this way and watch the amazing sleight of hand tricks by Rawls and Rorty! The hand is quicker than the eye! They steal from the Judeo-Christian tradition you never notice it!
