In 2025, I participated in a conference on natural rights, pro and con, from Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox points of view, and I am now able to share a provisional version of my paper.  The proceedings of the conference will appear in a symposium in the American Journal of Jurisprudence, but you don’t have to wait – you can read the paper right here, right now.  Even if you lose track of this blog post, you will always be able to find the paper on the Read Articles page.

I've written a lot about natural law, but much less about natural rights.  This is the most substantial articulation of natural rights I’ve written.  I hope you enjoy reading it!
