Natural Law

In ethics, believers in natural law hold (a) that there is a natural order to the human world, (b) that this natural order is good, and (c) that people therefore ought not to violate that order. Natural Law views of morality are upheld by the Roman Catholic Church in its catechism (body of teaching), and in Papal Encyclicals such as 'Humanae Vitae' and 'Personae Vitae'. You can read these documents in Mr Baron’s notes on the Public area of WCS website.

"I just want to say, again, a heartfelt thank you to you for all the hard work you have done to create the Philosophical Investigations website. Your generosity in sharing these fantastic resources is quite humbling. My teaching (and my students' learning) will benefit greatly and the resources will, I'm sure, have an impact on re-invigorating the popularity of the subject beyond AS and A2. Well done." Helen Latham, RS teacher
