<p><strong>Thomistic Institute Talk: </strong>C<strong>an Nature Make Laws? An Intro to Natural Law Tradition</strong> Natural law is the attempt to derive moral rules from our rational study of human nature and the world. A lot of Catholic moral teachings,
especially about sex and human dignity, are derived from natural reason and explained in terms that should be accessible to people who are open to being reasoned with. For our first Thomistic Institute talk of the year, Prof. Raymond Hain of Providence College’s
philosophy department will give a lecture on the basics of the natural law tradition of moral reasoning. Thursday, Oct. 17, Room 3-270, 5:30 PM</p>
<p> </p>
