The Whole Duty of Man, According to the Law of Nature

Focusing on natural law, Samuel Pufendorf's work presents a conventional foundation that emphasizes humanity's inherent need to foster sociability. By rejecting the metaphysical theories of scholasticism, he argues that the principles of natural law arise from social interactions and the need for cooperation among individuals. This approach offers a practical perspective on moral obligations and human relationships, positioning sociability as central to understanding ethical behavior.
