Natural Law - Thomas Aquinas

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they will be looking into Moral Philosophy and focusing on the theory of Natural Law.

Is morality a natural fact written into the laws of nature by God? Thomas Aquinas believed so, and developed the Natural Law theory arguing that was is morally right and what is morally wrong is part of nature and created God and discovered by human reason.

Watch as George and John critically assess this theory and see if it is a good basis in discovering where morality comes from.
