Natural Law and Human Nature...

I don't know if you ever heard about The Teaching Company, which brings engaging professors into your home or car through courses on DVD, audio CD, and other formats. On their web site: http://www.teach12.com they offer many courses and lectures on DVD, CD or online format. Among them, there is one which I would highly recommend, especially by those interested in bioethics or catholic moral theology: Natural Law and Human Nature taught by Father Joseph Koterski, S.J. Fordham University, course No. 4453 (24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture).

This course traces the origins and consequences of the theory of natural law.Natural law is the idea that there is an objective moral order, grounded in essential humanity, that holds universal and permanent implications for the ways we should conduct ourselves as free and responsible human beings.
