lei natural, Rommen (II)

"The defense against totalitarianism cannot plead greater efficiency, more economic productivity, which are the categories in which the totalitarian “social engineer” thinks. Such a defense must appeal to justice, to the rule of reason; it must plead in the name of the natural law and of the natural rights of human persons and their free associations. Natural law is not only an ideal for the positive law, for legislation to realize; it is also a critical norm for the existing positive law"

Natural Law, Heinrich Rommen [is known in the United States primarily as the author of two widely read books on political philosophy, The State in Catholic Thought: A Treatise in Political Philosophy (1945) and The Natural Law (1947), and as a professor at Georgetown University (1953–67). Yet, before 1938, when he fled the Third Reich for the United States.]

Numa simples frase, elimina-se o eficientismo marxista e o de origem (eficientismo) liberal empirista (que, digo e repito, mal fizeram ao liberalismo clássico) e declara a supremacia como norma e não como curiosidade.
