Additions to the Idea of Nature in Natural Law Thinking – Transition to Modernity

Summary/Abstract: Natural law is one of the “eternal themes” in the history of the philosophy of law. It is difficult to say anything new on this subject. This paper offers a special perspective on the history of natural law by approaching it from a particular angle. The analysis focuses on the notion of nature as it is conceived or implied in the natural law concept. More specifically, it examines the topic in the immediate antecedents of modern thinking about natural law and in the modern era. The study also includes an excursus reviewing the changing meanings of the legal concept of natural law.
