En defensa de los principios de Derecho Natural (segunda parte)

Abstract

: According to Aristotle, principle is that from which something comes, both in the order of being, of knowing and of doing or acting. In this sense, in the order of knowing, principle refers to the starting point on which a whole series of notions that constitute a science or knowledge is structured. Just as the first principles of speculative reason (principle of non-contradiction, etc.) are common and constitute the basis of all subsequent knowledge, the first principles of practical reason (natural law) would also be common and are the basis of all practical knowledge. Also through dialectics, a defense of the classical theory of natural law will be made against objections from modern thought. Finally, the notions of natural law and natural law will be distinguished within the framework of the analogical conception of both.
