- Proportionalism - never go against 7 basic goods unless proportionate reason to
- Casuistry, unique basis - relative - situation, not rule-based
- Finnis' Theory
- new natural law, is a real goodness
- Theoretical reason= true, can't prove, Practical reason = how - act. Seven Basic Goods: 1 PLAY for play's sake 2 LIFE3 AESTHETIC experience 4 RELIGION 5 PRACTICALREASONING 6 life 7 sociability
- try to fulfil these, put yourself first - not always best for you.. - authority important
- prefers simple ans : complex one - validity of deductive inferences - the PRINCIPLE OF INDUCTION - Kuhn - there could be a paradigm shift = one version of reason replaced by another
- Immigration
- 1) play (play's sake)
- 2) practical reasonableness (reason what's best to do (self))
- Untitled

- Law profess. Oxford 1980 - 'Natural Law and Natural Rights' - re-statement judges' Ratio Decidendi, Catholic - work links Jesus & law
- 'any worthwhile activity is worth doing because it participates in one or more basic goods'
- the statement 'there are 7 basic goods' is just as true as 'there are infinitely many primes.' (can't prove but know true - can only show REFLECTION of - can't PROVE God's love
- link - meta ethics - intuitionism, can't prove, cognitive
- 1) not all can experience - not democratic / universal - aesthetic if blind? 2) most people act in way think is good but don't all act same way - is there really one standard of good? 3) can't all know same degree - what is good, eg. if never experienced it (child abuse)
- certain 'basic goods' all same - reflect God's love - obvious, have to accept them
- don't all have same knowledge & experience & * not all aware - principles of theoretical rationality - (eg. toddler might not understand MODUS PONENS argument
- Finnis acknowledges some who don't respect basic goods - they are just wrong (- if reason teaches us this to support theory how can some peoples' be wrong?
- don't all have same knowledge & experience & * not all aware - principles of theoretical rationality - (eg. toddler might not understand MODUS PONENS argument
- Hoose's theory
