Tematem artykułu są rozważania dotyczące przełożenia "praw natury" na język nie "praw państwowych", ale "praw moralnych" w ich subiektywnym znaczeniu, którą to próbę podjął w czasach nowożytnych Immanuel Kant.
The law of nature is a formula transformed by Kant into the 'universal law'. 'Good' is applied to the which ensures 'duration' to the 'system'. The goal of Kant's metaphysics of morality is elimination of a situation when some type of the behaviour of the system might dominate the whole of its functioning, thus leading to its annihilation. In the life of society this could be for example widespread begging, suicide, failure to return debts, not using human talents. The content of the first imperative in Kant's ethics corresponds to Parmenides' 'primacy of begin' or to the 'ontological proof' of God's existences in St. Anselm. The second imperative reveals the Aristotelian content: a 'happy medium' and at the same time a compromise between 'means and ends'. People should be treated as ends and means. This reniforces the Manichean dualism of the two forces of human life. For without it, 'ethicality' could not exist at all. Manicheism founds 'ethicality' whereas the latter founds the subjective law of nature that determines when social systems can be 'definitively stable'. (original abstract)
