The End of Law
How Law’s Claims Relate to Law’s Aims
9781788113991 Edward Elgar Publishing
法律的终结将奥古斯丁的问题应用于现代法律哲学，并提供了一种依靠奥古斯丁思想的自然法理论。McIlroy argues that such a critical natural law theory is: realistic but not cynical about law’s relationship to justice and to violence, can diagnose ways in which law becomes deformed and pathological, and indicates that law is a necessary but insufficient instrument for the pursuit of justice. Positioning an examination of Augustine’s reflections on law in the context of his broader thought, McIlroy presents an alternative approach to natural law theory, drawing from critical theory, postmodern thought, and political theologies in conversation with Augustine.

Augustine posed two questions that go to the heart of the nature of law. Firstly, what is the difference between a kingdom and a band of robbers? Secondly, is an unjust law a law at all? These two questions force us to consider whether law is simply a means of social control, distinguished from a band of robbers only by its size, or whether law is a social institution justified by its orientation towards justice.
法律的终结将奥古斯丁的问题应用于现代法律哲学，并提供了一种依靠奥古斯丁思想的自然法理论。麦克罗伊（McIlroy）认为，这种批判性的自然法理论是现实的，但对法律与司法和暴力的关系并不愤世嫉俗，可以诊断法律变形和病理的方式，并表明法律是追求正义的必要但不足的工具。麦克罗伊（McIlroy）在更广泛的思想中对奥古斯丁（Augustine）对法律的思考进行了检查，提出了一种自然法理论的替代方法，从批判理论，后现代思想和与奥古斯丁交谈中的政治神学借鉴。
This insightful book will be fascinating reading for law students and legal philosophers seeking to understand the perspective and commitments of natural law theory and the significance of Augustine. Readers with an interest in interdisciplinary approaches to legal theory will also find this book a stimulating read.

Critical Acclaim
‘McIlroy’s book amounts to a wonderful conspectus, and synthesis, of centuries of thought about law, all packed into just less than 200 closely argued pages. . . should it be that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall perish from the earth in the next few years, McIlroy’s book is not a bad epitaph for it, and will serve as a decent reminder in years to come of all that we lost, and may – in time – have again.’

‘这是一本非常及时的书。纯粹的科学方法使我们想到了几十年来，尽管它遇到或可能仍然带领我们，但这是唯一可能的方法。一种哲学或甚至是法律的神学方法表明，其他法律分析仍然是可能的。这本书的最大优点是在当今的世界中提供有关法律的这些思维方式之一。

‘法律的终结是对如何在加深对法律的不确定性加深的不确定性以及是否比权力竞赛的结果更重要的情况下，对如何提高法律基础的辩论进行了反对。因此也是
timely one, at a moment when a legitimate moral pluralism threatens to collapse into a dangerous cultural and political fragmentation that places democracy and the rule of law in serious jeopardy.’
– Jonathan Chaplin, Theos Think Tank
‘For some time, theistic Natural Law Theory has been dominated by the Thomism of the New Classical Natural Lawyers. In this book, David McIlroy develops an Augustinian, which is to say, more critically realist, reinterpretation of that tradition. Wide-ranging, erudite and accessible, this book provides refreshing and provocative new perspectives on the perennial questions of jurisprudence.’

‘这个博学而优雅的卷提供了一种新颖的自然法则理论，其正义，法律和权威牢固地基于圣奥古斯丁的持久教义，但巧妙地与当代法学家，哲学家和神学家巧妙地互动。这是一本可以在一两个晚上阅读的书，但品尝了很多年。强烈推荐。'
