Znaczenie prawa naturalnego we współczesnym świecie według J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI
The Meaning of the Natural Law in the Contemporary World According to J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI

Summary/Abstract: J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI indicates the meaning of the natural law as the basis of justice-sensitive politics. That law protects us against the lawlessness of the rulers, the injustice of the majority, the totalitarianism of the state. The respect for the natural law is a necessary condition of peace. The conviction about the existence of the law which could be recognized by all the people enables authentic dialogue of persons from various cultures and religions. In the face of contemporary globalization and migration movements, that dialogue becomes particularly important. <br> The natural law makes it possible to recognize and to defend human rights and to acknowledge human dignity. It is particularly important today, in view of the so-called dictatorship of relativism. Regaining the awareness of the moral nature of existence is vitally important for the survival of the humanity. The concept of the natural law constitutes one of the greatest achievements of the European culture and determines its greatness.
