Natural Law

Product Overview

The Natural Law is the transcendent moral law that is written into human nature and is applicable to people of all times. It is called “natural” for two reasons: First, because it is based on human nature, on the human condition, and reveals basic human rights and duties. Second, because it can be known by natural means—by human reason, without the aid of revelation. Thus it is accessible to people of all times and places.

The Natural Law is the basis for the English system of Common Law, for much of international law, and for important documents such as the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), yet it is little known and understood. In this talk, Fr. Flader explains this fascinating topic in a readily accessible manner, and shows Natural Law’s relevance to modern day society.
