| Summary: | What exactly is it that constitutes a juridical domain of natural law, according to Michel Villey's and Javier Hervada's realistic conception of right and juridicity? How is this juridical domain of natural law situated within the broader context of other dominant contemporary juridico-philosophical approaches - be they congenial to the Thomistic natural law theory, or deeply contrasting - to the "law-morality" intersection? This present work argues that Villey's and Hervada's conclusions regarding the juridical domain of natural law represent a truly singular contribution to the natural law theory, as well as a rather unique approach to the "law-morality" intersection in juridical philosophy. Having taken the integral Thomistic account of natural law as the juridico-anthropological basis for the necessary point of contact between the juridical domain and morality, Villey and Hervada reaffirm and develop the realistic postulate that the normative moral structure of human nature itself attributes certain natural "realities" ("res") to persons, within the scope delineated by the properties of juridicity, and thus constitutes these "realities" as natural juridical goods - natural rights - owed in justice. The natural moral law, when observed under the aspect of the properties of juridicity, is reconstituted as the natural norms of justice |
