A. Natural Law Doctrines
The doctrines of natural law assert that law comes from the very nature of the nature of man.
For St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, this natural law is revealed to man by man by God. For Grotius, Hobbes, Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, natural law must be discovered by reason.
Jus naturalists defend such a conception of law, based on human nature and superior to the positive law of nature, and superior to positive law.
B. The doctrines of positive law
For the doctrines of positive law, law is not derived from human nature, but is
nature, but is justified by itself. It is legitimate because it is given by authorities.
Kelsen, author of Pure Theory of Law, is the most famous representative of the representative of positivism, that doctrine which affirms that law is identical to the rules of law. This doctrine rejects the existence of a natural law.
