Natural Law, and the Law and Voice of Nature
2018This chapter reconstructs the key features of natural law theory as it was extant to the late eighteenth-century French context using theorists as Grotius, Pufendorf, Hobbes, Rousseau, Diderot, and Boucher d’Argis. It shows that by the middle of the century, the tradition had incorporated within it moral sense theories which had earlier been criticisms

The sources for what we know of medieval thinking on law and nature include the Church Fathers and scholastic theologians, as well as Roman legal writings, and the somewhat confused cluster of texts that were drawn together in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries to constitute a body of recognized “canon law” for academic study. Of the first importance

The nature of the laws of nature
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2000We human beings live in the explanations of our existence as living beings. These explanations of our existence include what we call the ‘laws of nature’. Though we name them laws, we cannot claim that they have an existence independent of us. We human beings do not exist in nature, nature arises with us, and we ourselves arise with it. In this dynamic

Abstract Sitting In An Auditorium at the California Institute of Technology one Friday morning in January, my thoughts began to drift. We were assembled to celebrate the 60th birthday of Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, and the room was filled with people listening to talks on the future of research on the fundamental laws of nature.

Natural Law and the Nature of Law: Kelsen’s Paradox
2017Is it possible to articulate a genuine pure theory of law without it ceasing to be a positivist theory of law? The project of a pure theory of law can be held to presuppose a “nature of law” whose criteria lead to transcendence with respect to positive law, even though it is not its purpose.

Having considered Spinoza's view of our good, we can now turn to reason's guidance for obtaining it. One might expect reason's practical guidance to be very specific, since the best course of action likely depends on the particular circumstances; for instance, while it is usually in our best interests to exercise, there are times when it may not be ...

Scientists (and scientifically literate laypersons) regard certain regularities or uniformities in the course of nature—but not others—as laws of nature; the ones they regard as laws they allow to play a distinguished role in explanation and in evaluating counterfactuals.

On the Concept and the Nature of Law
Pravosudie / Justice, 2008The central argument of this article turns on the dual-nature thesis. This thesis sets out the claim that law necessarily comprises both a real or factual dimension and an ideal or critical dimension. The dual-nature thesis is incompatible with both exclusive legal positivism and inclusive legal positivism.

AbstractAquinas's account of law as an ordering of reason for the common good of a community depends on the mereology that covered his theory of parthood relations, including the relations of parts to parts and parts to wholes. Aquinas argued that ‘all who are included in a community stand in relation to that community as parts to a whole’, and ‘every ...
