According to ................, natural law is the set of principles of practical reasonableness in ordering human life and human community.
John Finnis
In Natural Law and Natural Rights (1980), John Finnis restated natural law theory as a set of basic goods (life, knowledge, play, aesthetic experience, sociability, practical reasonableness and religion) together with the requirements of practical reasonableness.
For Finnis, natural law is precisely the set of principles of practical reasonableness that guide how human life and the human community ought to be ordered so that these basic goods can be realised.
Lon Fuller spoke of the inner morality of law (procedural natural law), H.L.A. Hart offered only a minimum content of natural law within a positivist framework, and John Rawls developed justice as fairness, not a natural law theory.
So the definition of natural law as principles of practical reasonableness in ordering human life and community belongs to John Finnis.
Hence, John Finnis.
