Entry: Who Are We? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_are_we#26421 Post contents: Most rights that people (and the moderns) speak of these days are subjective active rights (the moral faculty or license to do x). It can be maintained with little difficulty that an account of subjective passive rights (having a claim on someone doing x or giving y) can be extracted from Aquinas' works. So no, you don't mean ius in the way Aquinas means it, because he does not explicitly discuss either subjective active or subjective passive rights. Sent at: 2008 09 07
