15Tick four criticisms of NML.
- AVardy says that NML "fails to consider the person as a psycho-physical unity" and is too simplistic to use for complex, individual moral dilemmas.
- BNML's objective set of rules has more clarity than Bentham's Act Utilitarianism.
- CHume argues that there could be more than one God or perhaps an evil God.
- DBarth argues that "There is not enough consideration on the grace of God and Revelation in the Bible" and human nature is too corrupt to be trusted. Thus NML is not reliable or applicable since our reason is corrupt and tainted due to original sin.
- EMoore states that NML commits the naturalistic fallacy.
- FScientists would state that there is no purpose in our world. For example, quantum physics highlights the randomness of our world and the lack of order and purpose. Even if there was purpose, it would not be as simple as the Primary Precepts.
16Tick four strengths of NML.
- AHoose's Proportionalism as a development of NML with more flexibility
- BLongford comments that since the secondary precepts are open to interpretation, "it is here that the flexibility of natural law occurs"
- CSociety has now moved towards social contract theory
- DBarclay argues that society requires laws and rules in order to avoid chaotic anarchy. NML provides objective rules to follow.
- ENML's objectivity and absolutism provides cohesive clarity in moral decision-making, unlike Bentham's confusing hedonic calculus or Fletcher's subjective agape love.
