The Treatise De Lege of Thomas Aquinas: A Review On the Questions About the Divine Law
Abstract
The author studies the De lege treatise of Saint Thomas Aquinas (S.Th. 1-Ilae, qq. 90-108), examining the causes that induced Saint Thomas to write this treatise, as well as the subjects of the community of men regarding God, the rationality of divine law and the connections existing between eternal law, natural law and positive law. In his conclusion he underlines the differences existing between Saint Thomas’ and Duns Scotus’ positions regarding the question of natural law.Downloads
