Thesis advisor: Ken Kersch / This thesis examines the tradition of Catholic natural law conservatism in contemporary American politics. Using the works of Clarence Manion and Robert P. George, it identifies two distinct strands of natural law political philosophy. The analysis concludes with an attempt to reconcile these interpretations with the hope of providing a viable framework for the natural law in modern America. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2010. / Submitted to: Boston College.
