Ética y derecho

For natural law rests entirely on the notion of the good, and the whole point of natural law is to provide us with our first guidance toward our own ultimate end. BROCK, Stephen L., The Light That Binds: A Study in Thomas Aquinas’s Metaphysics of Natural Law, Pickwick Publications, Eugen (OR), 2020, pos. 105

"The law of nature," declares Saint Thomas, "is nothing other than the light of the intellect instilled in us by God, through which we know what is to be done and what is to be avoided."

Natural law, then, would be an ordination of divine reason, for the common good of the universe, promulgated to man by God as governor of the universe, through the instilling of the natural light of the human intellect.4 BROCK, Stephen L., The Light That Binds: A Study in Thomas Aquinas’s Metaphysics of Natural Law, Pickwick Publications, Eugen (OR), 2020, pos. 182
