Law

A law is an ordinance of reason.— Coppens b. 1835LAWS, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. In this sense, all beings have their laws; the Deity his* laws, the material world its laws, the intelligence superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.montesquieu, «Spirit of the Laws».
In the traditional, vertical view—that encompasses various strata of being—we note that there are laws applicable at each layer. At the material layers, the laws are quantitative and precise, allowing no deviation. At the biological level, the actions of an animal are freer, but still subject to the laws of fear, hunger, and sex. When we reach the moral law, there is complete freedom. This freedom, or lack of compulsion, has led many to the false conclusion that there is no moral law or that it is merely conventional.
Writing from a Thomist perspective, Valentin Tomberg, in Foundations of International Law as Humanity’s Law, draws out the logical consequences of these ideas. The driving force or content behind these laws are respectively Love, Justice, and Power.Divine Law: This is the law of the Spiritual Authority. It expresses the ideal of law, which is Love, as the intuition of the moral world order.Natural Law: Everything that is created has its own nature. Justice demands that everything be given its due, hence it is the basis for natural law. Only by understanding man’s true nature, is it possible to understand the requirements of justice.21. May, 2016. Gornahoor.net. R. 11. June, 2020.
