A hybrid defense of the legislative perspective
N2  - Although earlier versions of the legislative perspective may exist, the aim of this historical survey is not to offer a comprehensive genealogy of the idea, but rather to trace the shift from one mode of thinking to another. This chapter examines the application of the legislative perspective within a school of thought focused on natural law and natural rights, with an empiricist approach. This school argued for the existence of transcultural, transhistorical moral principles, while also maintaining that identifying these principles required an understanding of the likely consequences of people attempting to act according to a rule
