Abstract: The article deals with the problem of human nature as a source of moral normativity in the work of Thomas Aquinas and Philippy Foot. We will focus on the understanding of human nature in both authors and distinguish between its two meanings. In a broader sense, human nature represents a entity whose content are basic natural inclinations and needs of a biological and psychological nature, which play a key role in the teleology of human life. In fulfilling these inclinations and needs, the individual achieves natural resources that form the metaframework of practical reasoning. Human nature in its proper meaning is identical to the practical rationality of an actor who judges the fulfillment of natural needs, arranges them and resolves conflicts between them, thus becoming his proper source of moral normativity.

Keywords: Human Nature, Practical Reason, Naturalistic Fallacy, Moral Norm, Thomas Aquinas, Philippa Foot.
