THE NATURAL LAW AND THE ISSUE OF UNIVERSAL ETHICS IN THE CZECHOSLOVAK HUSSITE CHURCH

Author(s): Jiří Vogel
Subject(s): Christian Theology and Religion
Published by: Univerzita Palackého v Olomouci
Keywords: Czechoslovak Hussite Church; Natural Law; Ethics

Summary/Abstract: The study compares the concept of the natural law according to the ITC document: The Search for Universal Ethics: A New Look at Natural Law with similar terms used in the theology of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church – in particular the terms moral law, humanity, freedom of conscience. The main differences amongst these concepts are seen in different attitudes toward natural theology. The author sees a fundamental agreement in an attempt to state certain general human common ethical principles, which are also based on significant cultural and religious traditions, in order to strengthen interpersonal coexistence in a global context.
