Much of modern legal thinking relies on the separation of human convention (nomos) and nature (physis), a distinction that often serves as a basis for further separations of law and justice and law and power. Commenting and elaborating upon some of the views and analyses provided by Johan van der Walt in his new book on the concept of liberal democratic law, I will explain why I think that we need an understanding of law that transcends the nomos-physis distinction. While laying out my argument, I will draw important inspiration from various sources of pre-sophistic Greek thought in which nomos and physis are essentially interconnected. Texts to be interpreted and discussed include some key passages from Sophocles’ Antigone and the archaic lyric poetry of Pindar.
