        This article examines the foundations of natural law within the classical tradition, with particular attention to the reception of Cicero’s thought and its development in the Thomistic synthesis. It analyzes how Cicero weaves together Stoic, Platonic, and Aristotelian elements to formulate a rational, immutable, and universal norm -the lex naturae-which links the human and the divine. The study then turns to the transformation carried out by Thomas Aquinas, who conceives natural law as the active participation of human reason in the eternal law, while preserving its theological grounding. The paper seeks to reclaim the concept of nature within ethical discourse and explores the tension between the autonomy of practical reason and its orientation toward a transcendent order, proposing a dialogue between the classical tradition and its reintegration into medieval Christian thought.
        Este artículo examina los fundamentos de la ley natural en la tradición clásica, con especial atención a la recepción de las ideas de Cicerón y su desarrollo en la síntesis tomista. Se analiza cómo Cicerón articula elementos estoicos, platónicos y aristotélicos para formular una norma racional, inmutable y universal -lex naturae- que vincula lo humano con lo divino. A continuación, se estudia la transformación operada por Tomás de Aquino, quien concibe la ley natural como participación activa de la razón humana en la ley eterna, sin perder su anclaje teológico. El trabajo reivindica el concepto de naturaleza en el ámbito ético y explora la tensión entre la autonomía de la razón práctica y su apertura a un orden trascendente, planteando un diálogo entre la tradición clásica y su reinserción en el pensamiento cristiano medieval.
