In Section 1, I outline the history of natural law theory, covering
Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Aquinas. In Section 2, I explore
two alternative traditions of natural law, and explain why these
constitute rivals to the Aristotelian tradition. In Section 3, I go
on to elaborate a via negativa along which natural law norms can be
discovered. On this basis, I unpack what I call three 'experiments
in being', each of which illustrates the cogency of this method. In
Section 4, I investigate and rebut two seminal challenges to
natural law methodology, namely, the fact/value distinction in
metaethics and Darwinian evolutionary biology. In Section 5, I then
outline and criticise the 'new' natural law theory, which is an
attempt to revise natural law thought in light of the two
challenges above. I conclude, in Section 6, with a summary and some
reflections on the prospects for natural law theory.
