Pope Benedict XVI, Prepolitical Moral Foundations of a Free Republic

1. R. Spaemann, ‘‘Weltethos als ‘Projekt,’ ’’Merkur50 (1996): 893–904.


2. The German wordRechtmeans both ‘‘law,’’ in the sense of the totality of laws or general
   norms, and ‘‘right,’’ as inMenschenrechte, ‘‘human rights.’’ Thus the reader should keep in mind,
   both in this passage and in what follows, that the word translated ‘‘law’’ or ‘‘rights’’ according to
   context would be the same word,Recht, in German—Trans.


3. Despite some minor corrections, this still-dominant philosophy of evolution is impressively
   carried out in J. Monod,Chance and Necessity:An Essay on the Natural Philosophy of Modern
   Biology, trans. Austryn Wainhouse (New York: Knopf, 1971). For the distinction between the actual
   scientific results and the philosophy that accompanies it,Evolution: Ein kritisches Lehrbuch, ed. R.
   Junker and S. Scherer (Gießen: Weyel, 1998), is useful. For a discussion of how the philosophy that
   accompanies the theory of evolution is critically questioned, see J. Ratzinger,Glaube—Wahrheit—
   Toleranz(Freiburg: Herder, 2003), 131–47.


4. For the three dimensions of medieval natural law (dynamics of being in general, directional-
   ity of the shared nature of man and animal [Ulpian], and specific directionality of the reasonable
   nature of man) see P. Delhaye, ‘‘Naturrecht,’’Lexikon fu ̈r Theologie und Kirche(Freiburg: Herder,
   1998), 7:821–25.


5. I have attempted to give a more detailed account of this in my bookGlaube—Wahrheit—
   Toleranz. See also M. Fiedrowicz,Apologie im fru ̈hen Christentum(Paderborn: Scho ̈ningh, 2001).
