Chapter 05 — Need and opportunity, Paragraph 5.2 (§05.00.05.02)

So seen, whatever is necessary to satisfy a need, because needs are natural to Beings, should be considered natural to the Being concerned. (Again, this is neither a moral philosophy nor a political theory (see §00.02.10), and therefore whether whatever is natural is ‘good’ (and consequently ‘unnatural’, ‘bad’) is not assessed. Needs are natural to Beings, but these needs are neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’. Accordingly, the means to serve them may be considered natural to these needs; however, whether any given state over space and time has provided (or is providing) or is supporting these means (acting ‘well’ or ‘badly’ for its citizens) is beyond the scope of this analysis.)
