Excerpts

Mere Christianity Journal

Chapter One

The Law of Human Nature

Nowadays, when we talk of the 'laws of nature' we usually mean things like gravitation, or heredity, or the laws of chemistry. But when older thinkers called the Law of Right and Wrong 'the law ofNature', they really meant the Law of Human Nature. The idea wasthat, just as all bodies are governed by the law of gravitation, and organismsby biological laws, so the creature called man also had hislaw -- with this great difference, that a body could not choose whetherit obeyed the law of gravitation or not, but a man could choose eitherto obey the Law of Human Nature or to disobey it. -- CSL

In what ways does the Law of Human Nature work in your life?Where does your knowledge of this law come from?

Think of a country where people were admired for running awayin battle, or where a man felt proud of double-crossing all the peoplewho had been kindest to him. You might just as well try to imaginea country where two and two made five. -- CSL

What laws of right and wrong govern your life? Why do you followthese rules? How did you come to believe these laws were right andthat going against them was wrong?

These, then, are the two points I wanted to make. First, that humanbeings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought tobehave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it. Secondly, thatthey do not in fact behave in that way. They know the Law of Nature;they break it. These two facts are the foundation of all clearthinking about ourselves and the universe we live in.
