Resumo: These days, the Thomistic account of natural law is the object of renewed interest and criticisms. A number of objections are usually lodged against the idea of a human nature and a shared human good, in that it might seem that these ideas are unquestionably culturally related and that cultural boundaries cannot be crossed. At the same time, the concepts of ‘human nature’ and ‘natural law’ are often misunderstood to be related to human biology only. To overcome these issues, this paper aims to reinterpret the Thomistic doctrine of natural law as a form of the golden rule (‘Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you’; ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’).

As ideias de natureza humana e de um bem humano partilhado são alvo de várias críticas, na medida em que pode parecer que essas ideias são, definitivamente, relativas à cultura e que os limites da cultura local não podem ser ultrapassados. Ao mesmo tempo, os conceitos de ‘natureza humana’ e de ‘lei natural’ são frequentemente mal compreendidos, como se estivessem apenas ligados à biologia humana. Para ultrapassar estas questões, esta comunicação visa reinterpretar a doutrina tomista da lei natural como uma forma da regra de ouro (“Não faças aos outros o que não queres que te façam a ti”).Centre for Ethics, Politics, and Society - ELACH, University of Minho2023-09-26info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.21814/eps.1.1.58eng2184-25822184-2574Simoncelli, Damianoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-29T10:56:33Zoai:journals.uminho.pt:article/4667Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:58:41.661450Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
