 As requested by several, here is a copy of the presentation that I delivered in Princeton. Half is a critique of the view that the "Natural Rights" founding of America was as central as is often believed, and is as praiseworthy as most at the conference held; the second half was a recommendation to consider the "Natural Law" critique of "Natural Rights" thinking that does not resort to the very kind of Cartesian/Kantian rationalist abstraction (often stripped bare of sociological and strongly prudential consideration), of the sort that one tends to find in the "New Natural Law" thinking.
