Study Notes
Natural law is a philosophical concept referring to the moral principles inherent in human beings and recognized by reason alone. It is considered universal and transcends any particular legal system or culture. According to natural law theory, there exists a body of law that is independent of the positive laws enacted by governments and yet is fundamental to them.
Natural law has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy, particularly in the works of Aristotle. However, it was Thomas Aquinas who developed the idea most fully within the framework of Christian thought. He believed that God had endowed men with powers emanating from his divine will and that these natural gifts came with a set of duties and rights that could be derived through human reasoning, not just religious revelation. This system of natural rights, which is often contrasted against civil and customary law, provides certain unalienable rights based on our common humanity.
The main rule in natural law is the Golden Rule, which states that one should treat others as they would like to be treated. This principle forms the foundation of morality in many cultures worldwide. Another key aspect of natural law is the belief that individuals have a right to live their lives free from interference so long as they do not infringe upon others' freedom to do likewise.
Historically, natural law served as the basis for international law before the development of the modern state system. In modern times, however, the role of natural law has been overshadowed by positivism, the doctrine that law is synonymous with commands issued by a sovereign. Despite this, natural law continues to influence various aspects of society, such as debates around abortion, gender identity, and other social issues where individual beliefs can clash with collective societal norms.
