Scriptural authority for the Christian idea of natural law as something that was <a href="/wiki/Endowment_(philosophy)" title="Endowment (philosophy)">endowed</a> in all men, contrasted with an idea of law as something <a href="/wiki/Revelation" title="Revelation">revealed</a> (for example, the <a href="/wiki/Law_of_Moses" title="Law of Moses">law revealed to Moses by God</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote><p>"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another."<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The intellectual historian A. J. Carlyle has commented on this passage, "There can be little doubt that St Paul's words imply some conception analogous to the 'natural law' in <a href="/wiki/Cicero" title="Cicero">Cicero</a>, a law written in men's hearts, recognized by man's reason, a law distinct from the positive law of any State, or from what St Paul recognized as <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">the revealed law of God</a>. It is in this sense that St Paul's words are taken by the Fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries like <a href="/wiki/Hilary_of_Poitiers" title="Hilary of Poitiers">St Hilary of Poitiers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ambrose" title="Ambrose">St Ambrose</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo" title="Augustine of Hippo">St Augustine</a>, and there seems no reason to doubt the correctness of their interpretation."<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because of its origins in the Old Testament, early <a href="/wiki/Church_Fathers" title="Church Fathers">Church Fathers</a>, especially those in the <a href="/wiki/Western_Christianity" title="Western Christianity">West</a>, saw natural law as part of the natural foundation of <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a>. The most notable among these was <a href="/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo" title="Augustine of Hippo">Augustine of Hippo</a>, who equated natural law with humanity's <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_man" title="Fall of man">prelapsarian</a> state; as such, a life according to unbroken human nature was no longer possible and persons needed instead to seek healing and salvation through the <a href="/wiki/Divine_law" title="Divine law">divine law</a> and <a href="/wiki/Divine_grace" title="Divine grace">grace</a> of <a href="/wiki/Jesus_Christ" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesus Christ">Jesus Christ</a>. Augustine was also among the earliest to examine the legitimacy of the laws of man, and attempt to define the boundaries of what laws and rights occur naturally based on wisdom and conscience, instead of being arbitrarily imposed by mortals, and if people are <a href="/wiki/An_unjust_law_is_no_law_at_all" title="An unjust law is no law at all">obligated to obey laws that are unjust</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The natural law was inherently teleological as well as <a href="/wiki/Deontology" title="Deontology">deontological</a>. For Christians, natural law is how human beings manifest <a href="/wiki/Image_of_God" title="Image of God">the divine image</a> in their life. This mimicry of <a href="/wiki/Jesus_Christ" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesus Christ">God</a>'s own life is impossible to accomplish except by means of the power of grace. Thus, whereas deontological systems merely require certain duties be performed, Christianity explicitly states that no one can, in fact, perform any duties if grace is lacking. For Christians, natural law flows not from divine commands, but from the fact that humanity is made in God's image, humanity is empowered by God's grace. Living the natural law is how humanity displays the gifts of life and grace, the gifts of all that is good. </p><p>Consequences are in God's hands, consequences are generally not within human control, thus in natural law, actions are judged by three things: (1) the person's intent, (2) the circumstances of the act and (3) the nature of the act. The apparent good or evil consequence resulting from the moral act is not relevant to the act itself. The specific content of the natural law is therefore determined by how each person's acts mirror God's internal life of love. Insofar as one lives the natural law, temporal satisfaction may or may not be attained, but salvation will be attained. The <a href="/wiki/State_(polity)" title="State (polity)">state</a>, in being bound by the natural law, is conceived as an institution whose purpose is to assist in bringing its subjects to true happiness. True happiness derives from living in harmony with the mind of God as an image of the living God.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

As to those general principles, the natural law, in the abstract, can nowise be blotted out from men's hearts. But it is blotted out in the case of a particular action, insofar as reason is hindered from applying the general principle to a particular point of practice, on account of concupiscence or some other passion, as stated above (77, 2). But as to the other, i.e., the secondary precepts, the natural law can be blotted out from the human heart, either by evil persuasions, just as in speculative matters errors occur in respect of necessary conclusions; or by vicious customs and corrupt habits, as among some men, theft, and even unnatural vices, as the Apostle states (Rm. i), were not esteemed sinful.<sup id="cite_ref-62" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </blockquote> <p>However, while the primary and immediate precepts cannot be "blotted out", the secondary precepts can be. Therefore, for a deontological ethical theory they are open to a surprisingly large amount of interpretation and flexibility. Any rule that helps humanity to live up to the primary or subsidiary precepts can be a secondary precept, for example: </p> <ul><li>Drunkenness is wrong because it injures one's health, and worse, destroys one's ability to reason, which is fundamental to humans as rational animals (i.e., does not support self-preservation).</li> <li>Theft is wrong because it destroys social relations, and humans are by nature social animals (i.e., does not support the subsidiary precept of living in society).</li></ul> <p>Natural moral law is concerned with both exterior and interior acts, also known as action and motive. Simply doing the right thing is not enough; to be truly moral one's motive must be right as well. For example, helping an old lady across the road (good exterior act) to impress someone (bad interior act) is wrong. However, good intentions don't always lead to good actions. The motive must coincide with the cardinal or theological virtues. <a href="/wiki/Cardinal_virtues" title="Cardinal virtues">Cardinal virtues</a> are acquired through reason applied to nature; they are: </p> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Prudence" title="Prudence">Prudence</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Justice_(virtue)" title="Justice (virtue)">Justice</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Temperance_(virtue)" title="Temperance (virtue)">Temperance</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cardinal_virtues" title="Cardinal virtues">Fortitude</a></li></ol> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Theological_virtues" title="Theological virtues">theological virtues</a> are: </p> <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Faith_in_Christianity" title="Faith in Christianity">Faith</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hope_(virtue)" title="Hope (virtue)">Hope</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Charity_(virtue)" class="mw-redirect" title="Charity (virtue)">Charity</a></li></ol> <p>According to Aquinas, to lack any of these virtues is to lack the ability to make a moral choice. For example, consider a person who possesses the virtues of justice, prudence, and fortitude, yet lacks temperance. Due to their lack of self-control and desire for pleasure, despite their good intentions, they will find themself swaying from the moral path. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="School_of_Salamanca">School of Salamanca</h5><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Natural_law&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: School of Salamanca"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/School_of_Salamanca" title="School of Salamanca">School of Salamanca</a></div> <p>Based on the works of Thomas Aquinas, the members of the School of Salamanca were in the 16th and 17th centuries the first people to develop a modern approach of natural law, which greatly influence <a href="/wiki/Grotius" class="mw-redirect" title="Grotius">Grotius</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDecock201362_63-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDecock201362-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For <a href="/wiki/Leonardus_Lessius" title="Leonardus Lessius">Leonardus Lessius</a>, natural law ensues from the rationnal nature and the natural state of everything : That way it is immutable on the contrary of positive law, which stems from divine or human will.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDecock201383_64-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDecock201383-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Jurists and theologians claimed thus the right to observe the conformity of the positive law with natural law.

In the struggles between <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament</a> and the <a href="/wiki/British_monarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="British monarchy">monarch</a>, Parliament often made reference to the <a href="/wiki/Fundamental_Laws_of_England" title="Fundamental Laws of England">Fundamental Laws of England</a>, which were at times said to embody natural law principles since <a href="/wiki/Time_immemorial" title="Time immemorial">time immemorial</a> and set limits on the power of the monarchy. According to <a href="/wiki/William_Blackstone" title="William Blackstone">William Blackstone</a>, however, natural law might be useful in determining the content of the common law and in deciding cases of <a href="/wiki/Equity_(law)" title="Equity (law)">equity</a>, but was not itself identical with the laws of England. Nonetheless, the implication of natural law in the common law tradition has meant that the great opponents of natural law and advocates of <a href="/wiki/Legal_positivism" title="Legal positivism">legal positivism</a>, like <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Jeremy Bentham</a>, have also been staunch critics of the common law. </p><p>Today, the most cited authors in literature related to natural law are, in their order: Aquinas, John Finnis, John Locke, Lon Fuller, <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Dworkin" title="Ronald Dworkin">Ronald Dworkin</a>, and James Wilson, who participated in drafting the U.S. Declaration of Independence.<sup id="cite_ref-161" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-161"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>161<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It shows how Aquinas has still a significant influence on the topic. The second Australian professor at Oxford University, <a href="/wiki/John_Finnis" title="John Finnis">John Finnis</a>, is the most prominent contemporary natural law jurist alive. Other authors, like the Americans <a href="/wiki/Germain_Grisez" title="Germain Grisez">Germain Grisez</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robert_P._George" title="Robert P. George">Robert P.

Here are some of the commonly employed methods: </p><p>1. Rational Inquiry and Human Reason: Natural law theorists often engage in rational inquiry to explore the nature of human beings, their moral obligations, and the principles that govern human conduct. They rely on logical reasoning and philosophical analysis to derive principles of natural law. Most Modern scholars dedicated to natural law will follow this rationalistic approach. </p><p>2. Observation of Nature: Natural law authors sometimes draw on observations of the natural world and human behavior to derive moral principles. According to <a href="/wiki/Aristotle" title="Aristotle">Aristotle</a><sup id="cite_ref-168" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-168"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>168<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas" title="Thomas Aquinas">Aquinas</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-:0_169-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-169"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>169<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> it is possible to examine the humans powers and inclinations, to detect what kind of goods are achievable and deserve to be reached. </p><p>3. Historical and Comparative Analysis: Some authors of natural law examine historical legal systems and comparative law to identify common moral principles embedded within them. They may explore ancient legal codes, religious texts, and philosophical treatises to uncover ethical norms that have stood the test of time. To some extent, <a href="/wiki/Montesquieu" title="Montesquieu">Montesquieu</a> and <a href="/wiki/Max_Gluckman" title="Max Gluckman">Max Gluckman</a> did a similar analysis, although the latter under another school of thought.<sup id="cite_ref-170" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-170"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>170<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>4. Axiology and Theology: Natural law theorists often incorporate resort to several ends and values to detect principles and rules of natural law. For instance, <a href="/wiki/John_Finnis" title="John Finnis">John Finnis</a> develops natural law based on seven basic good (life, knowledge, play, aesthetic experience, sociability, practical reasonableness, religion) that he believes are self-evident.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_171-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-171"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>171<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>5. Dialogue, Debate, Experience, Interpretation and other schools: Several natural law methods have been developed in different schools. Some authors engage in scholarly dialogue and debate with other philosophers and ethicists. They present their arguments, respond to objections, and refine their theories through critical discussion and exchange of ideas. Michael Moore has presented his realistic interpretational approach to the law.<sup id="cite_ref-172" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-172"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>172<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Quite different will be the view of <a href="/wiki/Lon_L._Fuller" title="Lon L. Fuller">Lon Fuller</a>. It's important to note that the methods employed by authors of natural law may vary depending on their specific philosophical perspectives and the historical context in which they work. Different natural law theorists may emphasize different approaches in their efforts to articulate the foundations and implications of natural law. </p><p>Nevertheless, Riofrio<sup id="cite_ref-:2_173-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-173"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>173<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> has detected in a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the most cited papers of natural law, that authors dedicated to natural law usually take into account some elements to deduce others. For instance, Finnis deduces legal principles and natural rights from the seven basic goods;<sup id="cite_ref-:1_171-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-171"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>171<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Aquinas deduces the human goods from the human powers,<sup id="cite_ref-:0_169-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-169"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>169<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and so on. The elements of the so-called "Natural Law Formula",<sup id="cite_ref-:2_173-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-173"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>173<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are the following ones: being (of people and things) - potencies of human beings and things - aims and inclinations of those potencies; means - human values or goods - ethical and legal principles - rules - natural and positive rights - cases and circumstances. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span
