Open access philosophy books, a thread: Part V

The last thread garnered 22 submissions, so I thought with fall approaching, it would make sense to open a new thread. The rules, as before:

In light of the growing number of these volumes, I am going to run a thread periodically in which I invite authors or readers to share links to philosophical works that are currently or permanently “open access.”  Please use your full name and a valid email address (the latter will not appear) and include the URL for the book (give the title and the author, if you are not the author).  Authors or readers can only say something about the work and what it tries to do.  Please indicate if the “open access” period is limited.

Submit your comment only once, it may take awhile to appear.  Do not post about books that have appeared in earlier iterations of these threads.

One response to “Open access philosophy books, a thread: Part V”

  1. Jon Crowe’s Cambridge Elements volume _Contempoary Natural Law Jurisprudence_ is available for free download until Aug. 21 (so, a bit more than a week from now.)

    I taught this in my philosophy of law class this last term, and thought it was very good – both a good intoduction to contemporary natural law views, and an interesting defense of a Crowe’s own view, clearly written and easy to both teach and read. It’s worth a look for people intrested in a relatively short introduction to natural law theory, especially one that isn’t committed to a theistic foundation. It’s available here:
