Essential Natural Law: Who Was Thomas Aquinas?

Of all the thinkers, scholars and philosophers who have contributed to the natural law tradition over the centuries, none has been more influential than Thomas Aquinas. Born in 1225 in southern Italy, Aquinas was educated at the famous Benedictine Abbey at Monte Cassino. His work addresses critical questions such as the nature of human reason, the principles of morality, the character of justice, the origins and limits of government, and the relationship between man-made laws and natural law. For Aquinas and other natural law scholars who would follow him, the idea that all humans shared an inherent morality and could all understand what was intrinsically good and bad provided a moral restriction on the power of the state, and also created a rationale for why people were under no obligation to obey man-made laws that contravened natural law.
