Excerpt from Psychic Philosophy as the Foundation of a Religion of Natural Law Truths. I apprehend, are verbal statements of facts, material or spiritual, experienced or inferred. Whether inspired or not, those statements can only (apart from telepathic possibilities) be rendered in words. Spiritual facts, so far as I have been able to understand, are of the nature of force, and are therefore to the human intelligence starting-points, or principles. Of under standing and of action. As they are not perceptible to us except by their phenomena, they must, whether by these or by words. Necessarily be expressed symboli cally, though they may be experienced actually as the illumination of the Divine 'spirit in the soul.

Morality based on natural law has a long tradition, and has proven to be quite resilient in the face of numerous attacks and challenges over the years. Those challenges are no less serious today, which leads one to ask if natural law is still a viable foundation for ethics. Craig Boyd provides a contemporary defense of natural law theory against modern challenges from the arenas of science, religion, culture, and philosophy. In his analysis, he defends many of the classical elements of natural law, but also takes into account the contributions of scientific discoveries about human nature. He concludes that natural law is a necessary but not sufficient basis for ethics that must be accompanied by a theory of virtue.
