The concept of natural law has been a recurrent and prominent one from the dawn of rational thought up to the modern era. It is essentially a consideration of the problem of the One and the Many, the problem of discovering something which is constant in the midst of change, and serves to measure it, the problem of establishing and justifying ethical standards in their relation to the essential nature of man and of things. The concept of natural law has been advanced, at various times, and even at the same time, as a theological, a philosophical, a moral, a legal and a political concept.
