The doctrine of natural rights has become controversial in our own time  while Sutherland has been widely maligned and screened from our historical memory. He is remembered today as one of the \"four horsemen\" who resisted Roosevelt and the New Deal; but we have forgotten his leadership in the cause of voting rights for women. Both liberal and conservative jurists now deride Sutherland  yet both groups continue to draw upon his writings. Liberals look to Sutherland for a jurisprudence that protects \"privacy\" against the rule of majorities  as in matters concerning abortion or gay rights. Conservatives will appeal to his defense of freedom in the economy.  However  both liberals and conservatives deny the premises of natural rights that provided the ground  and coherence  of Sutherlands teaching. Arkes contends that Sutherland can supply what is missing in both conservative and liberal jurisprudence. He argues that if a new generation can look again  with unclouded eyes  at the writings of Sutherland  both liberals and conservatives can be led back to the moral ground of their jurisprudence. This compelling intellectual biography introduces readers to an urbane man  and a steely judge  who has been made a stranger to them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67970363981877,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691016283","price":42.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691016283.jpg?v=1794586361","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-return-of-george-sutherland-9780691016283","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
