The natural law or law of nature is a system of justice that exists independently of the positive law of a given political order. Its usage has varied through its history. It currently has a meaning in both moral theory and legal theory, despite the fact that the core claims of the two kinds of theory are logically independent. According to natural law ethical theory, the moral standards that govern human behavior are, in some sense, objectively derived from the nature of human beings or the cosmos in general. According to natu ...

Greek philosophy was highly concerned with the difference between "nature" (physis, φúσις) on the one hand and "law" or "custom" (nomos, νóμος) on the other. What the law commanded varied from place to place, but what was "by nature" should be the same everywhere. It was in accordance with the latter that philosophers strove to live. The development of this tradition into a natural law is usually attributed to the Stoics. This law was how a rational human being, seeking his own true happiness, would act. These theories became highly influential among Roman jurists, and consequently played a ...

Feng Shui: Violating Natural Laws

In the philosophy of feng shui, everyone has a unique energy that radiates from their body. If the house's energy is not harmonized with a person's energy, it causes the body's internal energy to be scattered. Lacking focused energy, it is easy to be anxious and nervous, to say things one does not mean, to sleep with out getting rest. Unable to think and act at one's full potential makes people get into conflicts, eat the wrong things, do the wrong things and be involved in many mishaps.

The question that has received the most substantial attention from philosophers of law is What is law? Several schools of thought have provided rivals answers to this question, the most influent of which are: Natural law theory asserts that there are laws that are immanent in nature, to which enacted laws should correspond as closely as possible. This view is frequently summarized by the maxim: an unjust law is not a true law, in which 'unjust' is defined as contrary to natural law. Legal positivism is the view t ...

Since rights are considered as natural, rather than man-made, what constitutes a crime is also natural, in contrast to laws, which are man-made. Adam Smith illustrates this view, saying a smuggler would be an excellent citizen, "had not the laws of his country made that a c ...
