Natural Law, Moral Truth, and Conscience by Jay Budziszewski
We say that it's difficult to tell right from wrong. Though we're doing the best we can, the light is dim and it's hard to see our way. But is that really true? Or do we merely tell ourselves that it is? Just how light, or how dark, is it, anyway? Come and find out.
Playing Dumb: The Natural Consequences of Violating the Natural Law by Jay Budziszewski
Thomas Aquinas describes law as a kind of discipline that compels through fear of punishment. Although he offers the comment in the context of a discussion of human law, its scope is not restricted to human law. In fact the point can be equally well applied to the consequences of violating the natural law, not least the noetic consequences of doing so.
