The Death of Science: Part One, Natural Law — Michael Findley

The concept of “Natural Law” is older than civilization. Classical Greece gave us the foundation of science and method of gaining knowledge we call natural law. They had two very different views of Natural Law, which we attribute to Plato and Aristotle. Though Plato never used the exact words natural law, his Republic is filled … Continue reading The Death of Science: Part One, Natural Law — Michael Findley
