   What is Aquinas natural law theory?

   • Aquinas’s Natural Law Theory contains four different types of law: Eternal Law, Natural Law, Human Law and Divine Law. The way to understand these four laws and how they relate to one another is via the Eternal Law, so we’d better start there… By “Eternal Law’” Aquinas means God’s rational purpose and plan for all things.

   Why does Aquinas think we need to be part of a society?

   • It is clear that on our own we are not very good at discovering primary precepts and consequently Aquinas thinks that what we ought to do is talk and interact with people. To discover our real goods — our secondary precepts which accord with Natural Law — we need to be part of a society.

   What does Aquinas mean by 'eternal law'?

   • By “Eternal Law’” Aquinas means God’s rational purpose and plan for all things. And because the Eternal Law is part of God’s mind then it has always, and will always, exist. The Eternal Law is not simply something that God decided at some point to write. Aquinas thinks that everything has a purpose and follows a plan.
