Natural law as the basis of universal ethics?
TOMANDL, Antonín
The paper examines the development of natural law as a possible starting point for conceiving of ethic of a universal character. It is divided into two main parts, the first is devoted to the historical development and presentation of different conceptions of human nature, hence natural law, from the times of great philosophers such as Plato or Aristotle, up to John Finnis. The second part deals with natural law from the perspective of the International Theological Commission (ITC) in its more specific actualization and attempts some degree of comparison of this concept with the traditional concepts.
