Law [Presentation Thursdays]

View this presentations on Slideshare

As a Catholic, I have an affinity for the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas. That said, I think it would be fair to say that his thoughts on law (and what constitutes law) are elegant in their simplicity and rich in their meaning.

Personally, I enjoyed lecturing on Aquinas for Political Thought. And whether or not you take to the spiritual bent of his philosophy, its hard not to see how his definition of (just) law -- an ordinance of reason, for the common good, made by one who has the care of the community, and promulgated -- applies even in secular contexts.

'Nuff said.
