    NATURAL LAW ROBERT P. GEORGE* Oliver Wendell Holmes‚ the legal philosopher and judge whom Richard Posner has‚ with admiration‚ dubbed “the American Nietzsche‚”1 established in the minds of many people a certain image of what natural law theories are theories of‚ and a certain set of reasons for supposing that such theories are misguided and even ridiculous.
