Full Idea
Do we need natural law theory in order to make sense of the idea that laws can be unjust? Perhaps not: we might consider whether laws are consistent with the values of the culture or society where they apply.
Gist of Idea
Instead of against natural law, we might assess unjust laws against the values of the culture

A Reaction
So were the wicked laws passed by the Nazis consistent with 1930s German culture? Impossible to say.
