Viac o knihe

Focusing on the metaphysical underpinnings of natural law, this book delves into Saint Thomas Aquinas's moral doctrine, emphasizing how first principles of practical reason constitute natural law. It explores controversial questions surrounding the relationship between natural law and natural inclination, the role of human nature knowledge, and the obligatory force of natural law. Engaging with various interpretations from thinkers like Francisco Suarez and Jacques Maritain, it also examines the connection between natural law and the divine will, Aquinas's ultimate principle of being.
