NaturalLaw thinking aspires to objectivity and universality and at the same time is open to the continuing influence fromhistory and politics. The background principles of positive law historically go by the name of Natural Law.Suffering and injustice contribute to a vision both of the structure of human existence and of what we mean byhumane law and ethics. When we confront a cultural crisis, Natural Law, looks not to the past but to the future. Fewpeople today talk of the ethical dimensions of social realities in terms of Natural Law. This is true both in the Churchand in the State.
