The Importance of Consent in Human Florescence

I want to hit on at least some important issues here. I think the old natural law theory also, more or less, proceeded from the idea that we need to understand who man is and what contributes to his flourishing in order to evaluate institutions. And so there are a number of people who have taken that kind of Aristotelian insight and given it this kind of liberal interpretation. So I try to establish that in light of a number of features that I'd want to identify of human life, we of course know then that states don't pay much attention to their subjects consent.
