This is interesting. I have not read much legal philosophy, so I admit a great deal of ignorance on this topic. A quick reference to my library and the Stanford encyclopedia leads me to some confusion. To borrow some language from classical philosophy, it appears that legal positivism refers more to conventional law; my curiosity was more in regard to natural law. So, I'm curious if you see a connection between the two, and, if so, what is the bridge?

As I address the readers of the post: the who would be you, the when would be now, and the place would be wherever you happen to be.
