As we have seen, natural law theorists attempt to define human nature in order to provide an objective, intelligible, and universal foundation for moral prescriptions. For this week’s post, please do your best to (1) introduce one or more characteristics you think define our human nature (or at least are very characteristic of it) and then (2) use that characteristic(s) to present an argument which prescribes why some action should be considered wrong. I give you a few examples in the reading that will help you get the idea of how this works. Remember that your analysis need not be very convincing or definitive of your views at the moment. I am just interested in seeing if you can apply these ideas a bit. So feel free to raise whatever objections or qualifications to your natural law and our your own analysis that you think are appropriate.
