The origins of Natural Law are obscure. The earliest societies had no conception of a Divine Rule Maker. The Gods and Spirits were capricious; omit your rituals or fail to supply the Gods with their quota of still beating hearts, and the sun may not rise in the morning. From the pre-Socratics, to Plato and Aristotle to the Stoics, Natural law takes on the features that still influence legal philosophy and politics to this day: rationalism, universalism, the ethical and moral necessity of law and the ability for all to access the logos of the universe through observation, experience and contemplation. In this first introductory look at Natural law, we cover the period up to the Stoics, and their most notable practitioner, Marcus Aurelius, and consider what their ancient wisdom might tell us about our modern world.
