Consider the names of the following natural law jurists: I. Clarence Morris II. Rudolf Stammler III.…

Among the listed twentieth-century natural law and value-oriented legal thinkers, the German neo-Kantian jurist Rudolf Stammler (1856–1938), who propounded the concept of "natural law with a variable content" in The Theory of Justice (1902), appeared first. He was followed chronologically by the American legal philosopher Jerome Hall (1901–1992), known for his integrative jurisprudence (Living Law of Democratic Society, 1949), Clarence Morris (1903–1985), author of The Great Legal Philosophers (1959) and The Justification of the Law (1971), and John Rawls (1921–2002), whose landmark work A Theory of Justice (1971) revived normative social contract and justice theory in the late twentieth century.
