- Natural Law
- Primary Precepts
- Always true and applicable to everyone without exception.
- Helps us to achieve Eudaimonia through Human flourishing
- Secondary Precepts
- Specific application of the primary precepts to situations
- Roman Catholic Church prohibits contraception as it stop reproduction
- E.G preservation of life- Do Not Kill
- Specific application of the primary precepts to situations
- Real Goods
- Based on Primary Precepts
- If the telos corresponds with primary precepts- good action
- Apparent Goods
- Appear to correspond but don't
- Don't help achieve Eudaimonia
- Interior and Exterior Acts
- Interior act is the intention
- Exterior act is the action itself
- If intrerior based on primary precept- good
- Acts are only truly good if both interior and exterior are good
- Proportional Natural Law
- Extraordinary situations
- Ectopic pregnancy- Abortion allowed as only one life lost instead of teo
- action not allowed if unintended action had a devistating effect
- Extraordinary situations
- Primary Precepts
