We often say right and wrong are vague and hard to know. The natural law tradition says that's nonsense: the moral basics are known to every human being. If this is true, then we aren't ignorant, just self-deceived. So what happens if we tell ourselves that we don't know what we really do? == Dr. J. Budziszewski Professor of Government and Philosophy University of Texas, Austin Dr. Budziszewski writes for both scholars and general readers, with more than a dozen books including What We Can't Not Know: A Guide; On the Meaning of Sex; Commentary on Thomas Aquinas's Treatise on Law; Commentary on Thomas Aquinas's Virtue Ethics; and How to Stay Christian in College.
