Who this is
“Philosophy speaks in words like quality, essence, moral, and humanity because one overworked Roman politician, watching his republic die, sat down and built the vocabulary.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Above every statute ever passed stands a higher law — "right reason in agreement with nature" — by which all human laws, and all rulers, can themselves be judged.”
