"Theistic Metaphysics"?

Justice Scalia has reviewed a new book from the Harvard University Press on Philosophy and the Law.

He is in fine form... check out particularly the last bit. Is law possible without God to furnish right and wrong?

The author of this tome seems to be seriously pondering the bon mot of Voltaire:

Si Dieu n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer. (If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.)
