Problem: Thomas Aquinas On law
Does ethics depend on the existence of God? If human beings were not created by God, what would render actions good or bad? Would human beings have any absolute dignity (which they otherwise possess as creatures of God) that would place certain requirements on how we treat one another? Without God, would we have any obligation to treat others with respect? If so, what would such an obligation be based upon? Would there be any absolute moral obligations? If there are no absolute moral obligations, is there such a thing as "ethics"?
