Aquinas's thought of natural law can be reputed to be the most energetic theory of classical natural law in contemporary. His theories of law are supported by his complete system of philosophy. Especially in the construction of his system of virtue ethics, "natural law" or "natural moral law" (the first principle and objective outward principle of human acts) and "habits" (the inward principle of human acts)-especially the "virtue" of good habits-are the two major approaches to understand and interpret human acts along with their right and wrong, good and evil. This article, based on the sixth volume of the Chinese edition of Summa Theologica and setting out from the background of Aquinas's system of virtue ethics, analyzes and clarifies the definition of "law", the definition of "natural law", the content of "natural moral law" along with the similar and distinct relationships among Synderesis, conscience, prudentia and natural moral law. Finally, in face of all the ethical challenges in post-modem days, it is expected that Aquinas's wide-ranging and profound thought of natural law could be continued, expanded and deepened in its theory and practice by the persistent efforts of the Church and the Christian scholars in order to respond to and guide concrete acts and real life.
