Reviews
"Written for students of Western civilization as well as teachers of ethics, law, history, and government, Moral and Political Philosophy is an anthology of essays by orthopedic surgeon and Harvard graduate James H. Rutherford: "The Moral Foundations of United State Constitutional Democracy", "An Ecological Organic Paradigm", "What Medical Ethics Has to Offer the Larger Fields of Moral and Political Philosophy," and "A Tribute to my Father, Judge Leland Rutherford". Meticulously delineating ideas point by point, Moral and Political Philosophy grounds itself in a thorough understanding of all facets of human nature, and forming frameworks of reference with which to confront the toughest ethical problems, whether in the medical practice or the halls of government. A sobering, candidly written reservoir of ideas for the betterment of man."
