Thomistic
Understanding of Natural Law
as
the Foundation of Positive Law
Program
This
conference is dedicated to Thomas Aquinas’ Treatise on Law
considered as one of the founding core elements of Europe’s
cultural patrimony, arguing for its special timeliness in
the recent European debate on the foundation of the political
community in general. Additionally, the conference will
address the philosophical understandings and ways in which
positive law is grounded by natural law according to the Thomistic
tradition. Special attention will be given to the local
– Hungarian – tradition of the philosophical framework of
St. Thomas Aquinas’ thought, particularly to the reevaluation
of the work done by Alexander Horváth (1884–1956), the interwar
Dominican professor in Rome, Fribourg, and Budapest.
