(2001) The invisible origins of legal positivism, Dordrecht, Springer.
The positive law
natural law dichotomy, Aristotle and the Greek totemic legal culture
William E Conklin
pp. 13-35
One can readily appreciate that the tradition of legal positivism has defined itself in terms of an antagonist: natural law theory. Binding laws are considered cognitive objects (rules, principles, doctrines, policies) that human authors have posited. Natural laws are said to transcend such humanly posited objects. If inconsistent with the natural law, a humanly posited rule is void or unauthorized. As such, the humanly posited rule does not exist.
