Syn deresis rule

The primary principle in Aquinas' Natural Law theory, that human beings seek "to do good and avoid evil". The nature of the good we seek is given by the five primary precepts (preservation of life, procreation, education, living in society and worship of God).

"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
