ABSTRACT

This chapter examines further the idea of natural law politics and demonstrates how the conception of love provides a vision of the natural law community which is at odds with contemporary liberal societies. Love, conceptualized as trans-communal and international, challenges the state-based political structure and endorses a commutative account of justice. It provides an account of natural law agency drawing on a wide range of scholarly works which articulate the idea of moral and political agency. It reveals how love and charity sustain a relational account of politics which is sympathetic to, but ultimately distinct from, feminist accounts of care. It highlights the centrality of equality and the emergence of commutative forms of justice in order to establish an initial foray into more mainstream discussions of international politics. It is sympathetic to the ends of human engagement which structure 'the political'. It concludes with an account of the political community.
