The next meeting of Edmund Burke’s Club (Aust) Inc will be on Friday 18 July at the Savage Club, Melbourne City. Gerard Wilson will give a talk on ‘Burke’s Philosophy of Rights’. The intention is to draw a line from a general idea of natural law – which was the subject of Fr Tattersall’s talk at the previous meeting – through to Burke’s positive conception of ‘real’ rights and his condemnation of the contract theorists’ ‘abstract natural rights’. The meeting is open to all interested people.
