| Sumario: | Abstract: Natural Law Theories are influenced by particular cultural
trends and philosophical traditions. The Italian trend is characterized, on
the one hand, by the existence of a normative ethics grounded on human
reason and inspired by the Christian faith according to Aquinas’ doctrine,
and, on the other hand, by a philosophy of history concerning processes of
civilization according to Giambattista Vico’s thought. These two cultural
roots have developed in parallel and often in opposition, so Italian Natural
Law Theories have been attracted now by rationalism, then by historicism
without arriving at a point of balance. In the age of constitutionalism, the
relevance of inner principles of positive law appears to allow their fruitful
convergence. |
