Assignment task: After reading chapter 8 in Vaughn, take some time to articulate your understanding of Natural Law Theory:
1. Explain how Aquinas' Natural Law Theory is theist.
2. Is it a deontological or teleological ethical theory?
3. Examine how its ideas about 'human nature' might conflict with one's socio-economic reality. In other words, it makes claims about how we are 'inclined toward the good'.... regardless, without conditions, etc.
