nominalism-(Latin
nominalis, "of or pertaining to names")
"In medieval scholastic philosophy, doctrine
stating that abstractions, known as universals are without essential or
substantive reality and that only individual objects have real existence.
These universals, such as animal, nation, beauty, circle, were held to
be mere names, hence the term nominalism. For example, the name 'circle'
is applied to things that are round and is thus a general designation but
no concrete identity with a separate essence of roundness exists corresponding
to the name. The nominalistic doctrine is opposed to the philosophical
theory called extreme realism,
according to which universals have a real and independent existence prior
to and apart from particular
objects." ...Microsoft® Encarta®

natural law.noun
a law or body of laws that derives from nature
(means, derived from the Creator) and is believed to be binding upon human
actions apart from or in conjunction with laws established by human authority
Natural Law: The only actual
law we need is to do good to others being careful not to do any harm; do
unto others what you would have them do unto you and don't do unto others
what you would not have them do unto you.
The Greeks could see that
we could recognize actions as inherently lawful or unlawful, without the
need of the state to tell us; they had lived through some excellent examples
of lawless states. They came out with an answer is quite amazing.
Aristotle believed each kind
of animal has a special nature. They all know or discover what they need
to do in order to lead the life that they are physically fitted to live.
Humans too are naturally capable of knowing how to live together and do
business with each other without killing each other.
The so-called 'Wild West'
which history shows was not nearly as wild as many modern cities with strict
gun control, existed beyond the reach of state power. People possessed
the right of property, and businesses functioned. (Kopel, 323 -373)
Natural law follows from
the nature of men. We have the right to life, liberty and property, the
right to defend ourselves against those who would rob, enslave, or kill
us. We have inalienable rights
from the Creator.
Law derives from our right
to defend ourselves and our property, not from the power of the state.
Natural Law comes from each
person being intuitive enough to sense the order in the universe that surrounds
them.
Einstein
did not create general relativity, nor did Newton create the law of gravity,
nor does anyone create natural law. These things are discovered, then used
by mankind. It just is there, proven by its ability to affect those who
understand it, and those being affected by it who may not understand it.
There are many natural laws universally applicable to all mankind.
Natural law was taught in
the great Universities of Oxford, Salamanca, Prague, and Krakow, and in
many other places. In England the theory of natural law led to the Magna
Carta, the Glorious Revolution, the declaration of right, and the English
Enlightenment. It was the basis for the US revolution and the US bill of
rights. It is everyone's right and duty to forcibly uphold natural law,
thus in order to get a law enforced, or to get away with enforcing it oneself,
ones lawyer had to argue natural law, rather than customary law. Thus the
Netherlands came to be governed predominantly by natural law, rather than
by men or by customary law. From the right to self defense comes the right
to the rule of law, but from the right to property comes a multitude of
like rights, such as the right to privacy An Englishman's home is his
castle. Further, Locke repeatedly, in ringing words, reminded us that
a ruler is legitimate so far as he upholds the law.
A ruler that violates natural
law is illegitimate. He has no right to be obeyed, his commands are mere
force and coercion.
Rulers who act lawlessly, whose laws are unlawful, are mere criminals,
and should be dealt with.
