This is why I will not be posting much this semester...

two paragraphs from my philosophy reading "The Global Justice Reader..."

"A Law of Nature (Lex Naturalis) is a Precept, or generall Rule, found out by Reason, by which a man is forbidden to do, that, which is destructive of his life, or taketh away that means of preserving the same; and to omit, that, by which he thinketh it may be best preserved. For though they that speak of this subject, use to confound Jus, and Kex, Right and Law; yet they ought to be distinguished; because Right, consisteth in liberty to do, or to forbeare; Whereas Law, determineth, and bindeth to one of them: so that Law, and Right, differ as much as Obligation, and Liberty; which in one and the same matter are inconsistent."

See you in April.
