This is the single fullest summation of Girard's ideas to date, the book by which they will stand or fall.

In this course of lectures, Professor Hadley Arkes seeks to recall the classic connection between morality and law. For law works by sweeping away personal choice and private judgment and replacing them with a public rule, meant to be enforced on everyone.
