Sažetak
Investigation of the concept "nature", according to the author, is predominantly of socio-political significance. As a matter of fact, until the 19th century, socio-political life was based on the so-called "natural law" (ius naturale) which was an effective means of limitating and suppressing the despotism of the rulers, tyranny, dictatorship, totalitarian regimes, as well as in demasking unjust laws. In the past century, the historical consciousness (and everything pertaining to it) repressed the "ius naturale", attempting to relativize it. The consequences of this can be felt by us, living in the 20th century, the epoch of merciless, apocalyptic, totalitarian regimes. Therefore, a tendency towards the revalorization of the nastural law in social and political life is recently being felt.
The concept "natural", according to he author, has a theological meaning as well. Not only in christology and the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, but also in the understanding of the entire relationship between God and man, nature and grace. The author recalls the essential theological axioms such as: "Gratia supponit naturam" and "Gratia non destruit naturam, sed perficit".
