Chapter 1. The Law of Human Nature

 

The premise of C.S. Lewis:

Human nature has the ability to judge right and wrong. The law or rule of right and wrong is called the law of nature. In other words, we have the idea that we have to act in a certain way, and we can not throw it out in mind. But we do not behave in that way. In short, human beings are aware of the natural law, the law of human nature, but they live with betraying the law.

 

❖C.S. Lewis is an English scholar and philosopher who does not cite the Bible or say original sin when referring to such human nature. He approached to human nature with "the law of nature", but the question we wonder is more fundamental. When, where, and how did all universal human beings have this natural law? Is the answer God? Then, this book is worth while to read more.
