:''For the "natural order" which refers to plants see''
ordo naturalis.
The 'natural order' is the
moral source from which
natural law seeks to derive its
authority. It encompasses the natural relations of beings to one another, in the absence of
law, which natural law attempts to reinforce.
In contrast,
divine law seeks authority from
God, and
positive law seeks authority from
government.
The term is used by
Hans-Hermann Hoppe in his book '': The Economics and Politics of Monarchy, Democracy, and Natural Order'' to designate
Anarcho-capitalism
