 EXTRACT 5: Aquinas on free will, rights and justice
In this short article the relationship between natural law, reason and the virtue of justice (a key virtue of the will, according to Aquinas) are discussed. This issue goes to the ehart of how we can derive universal human rights from natural alw theory (as was done in the Nuremburg trials of war criminals in 1947). http://www.aquinasonline.com/Topics/justice.html |
"I just want to say, again, a heartfelt thank you to you for all the hard work you have done to create the Philosophical Investigations website. Your generosity in sharing these fantastic resources is quite humbling. My teaching (and my students' learning) will benefit greatly and the resources will, I'm sure, have an impact on re-invigorating the popularity of the subject beyond AS and A2. Well done." Helen Latham, RS teacher
