Natural Law Philosophers gathers the jurists and philosophers associated with the natural law tradition, the view that law draws its authority, in whole or in part, from a higher moral order accessible to human reason rather than from human enactment alone. Its members span the classical and Enlightenment-era natural law and natural rights philosophers through the twentieth century revival of natural law theory that followed the Second World War's reckoning with purely positivist legal systems.
