Lex Naturae

Lex Naturae, meaning "Law of Nature," refers to the idea that certain universal principles inherently govern the natural world, guiding behavior and morality without formal laws. It suggests that there are natural rights, duties, and ethical standards that are rooted in human nature and the universe itself. This concept underpins many philosophies and legal systems by asserting that morality and justice are not only created by humans but are grounded in nature’s inherent order, promoting the understanding that some rights and wrongs are universally valid, regardless of societal or cultural differences.
