Description:
This paper discusses how Sophocles' moral arguments in "Antigone" fitted with Aristotle's warnings in the Nichomaean Ethics V and with Thomas Aquinas on matters of nature and law. The paper looks at how Aquinas referred to the ideal level thought that should shape moral decisions referring to the divine as part of natural law and reasoning. The paper posits that both Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas would approve of the play "Antigone" and its message to do with law versus humanity.
