Abstract

Fang Dongmei set of traditional Chinese philosophy of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and the essence of Mexico in one of various companies, and thus will pass modern Western philosophy, Ran from you. His philosophy was and contribution record are derived from his profound insights on life. His ideas from an artistic approaches, from the poetic, from the aesthetic experience into the room, his life is also an ontological theory of aesthetic value. Fang Dongmei trying intermediation and philosophy in East and West, "love" and "truth" of separation and conflict to finance the "knowledge" and "value" to create a lovely and believable ideal philosophy. He philosopher and poet of the dual identity of trying for the world of cultural creativity to find a spiritual direction, both in the "serious reasons the world" or "lively intelligence world", have shown a rich cultivation, broad-minded, deeply The wise and noble realm. Natural law has played an important part in western civilization. If it weren't for natural law, Roman law could not have played the part it did in shaping today's international law. Without natural law, there would have been no American or French revolution. This article would like to take St. Thomas Aquinas' natural law as its subject. It first offers an explanation of natural law, then elucidates Thomas' three point theory and proceeds to Thomas' practical application of natural law; the relationship between people and their innate knowledge and conscience. I would then like to show Thomas 'use of participation and analogy in establishing his system of natural law. From there, I would like to discuss Thomas' notion of the entire universe and his use of metaphysics as a basis for natural law. Finally, I would like to point out some similarities between Thomas' natural law and Chinese culture
