What is Natural Law Theory in Jurisprudence about?

Natural law theory holds that law is dictated by reason and derived from nature rather than being posited by a sovereign. This view was developed by ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and further advanced by thinkers in the Middle Ages like Augustine and Aquinas. Aquinas defined natural law as the voice of reason that dictates humans to distinguish between good and evil. In the modern era, natural law theory was explored by classical theorists like Grotius, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau.
