Abstract:
|
Natural law is a term that has been used with a multitude of incompatible meanings, and this certainly has not helped its cause. In this paper I would like to sort through some of the meanings of natural law in an effort to bring some more clarity to contemporary discussions of the subject. In particular, I want to try to identify four different forms or levels of “natural law” thought. They range from the very broad–highly abstract and formal–to the relatively concrete and specific, and can be differentiated partly by the range of thinkers that are comprehended within each level. |
