Abstract

During the dark night of the Middle Ages - so named by certain historians- shone a light so bright that it is yet to fade away. It is the light of Saint Thomas Aquinas. He is the greatest and most important of Aristotle’s commentators. In his philosophical endeavors, Aristotle made use of his great intellect, the natural light of Reason; however, Saint Thomas had something extra that Aristotle lacked: his faith, the great faith of Aquinas the theologian. If we try to place his thought within the context of the Philosophy of Law, we quickly realize that Aquinas was adept at using political and juridical concepts, such as: law and natural right, law in general, the common good, and justice, among others. He handled the aforementioned concepts with such precision and clarity that his contributions to the philosophy of Law are invaluable and undeniable.
