This article looks at the ways that Thomas Aquinas’ classic and highly influential understanding of natural law ethics has been criticised by students coming from a number of different faith traditions. It suggests that the way that natural law ethics was deployed in Pope Paul vi’s encyclical Humanae Vitae has not typically been found to be persuasive even among Roman Catholic students. It then looks at the way that Lisa Sowle Cahill takes on board these criticisms and offers a more persuasive account of modified natural law ethics.

基督教伦理教学中的自然法

本文着眼于托马斯·阿奎那 (Thomas Aquinas) 对自然法伦理的经典且极具影响力的理解受到来自许多不同信仰传统的学生的批评的方式。它表明，即使在罗马天主教学生中，自然法伦理学在教皇保罗六世的通谕Humanae Vitae中的运用方式通常也没有说服力。然后，它着眼于丽莎·索尔·卡希尔 (Lisa Sowle Cahill) 接受这些批评的方式，并对修改后的自然法伦理学提供了更有说服力的说明。
