人们很难在自然法这样含义颇丰的术语上达成有效的沟通。对该术语充分的语义分析,不仅需要在其不同含义的界分之中找到差异,还需要做一项更难的工作,那就是在这些含义之中追寻复杂的重合部分,使它们表现出一些家族相似性。这样的分析本身无法推进本文的目的,我所要阐述的问题涉及可能在定义的过程中确实被预先假定的那种本体论的一个基本观点,但通过语义分析是几乎无法深入其中的。我先简要地阐明我不会研究的问题,以免产生误解。我并不试图提出
It is very hard for people to reach effective communication on terms as abundant as natural law. A full semantic analysis of the term requires not only finding differences among the boundaries of their different meanings, but also a harder task of tracing the complex overlap among them to make them show some Family similarity. Such an analysis does not by itself promote the purpose of this article. The question I am going to elaborate on involves a basic view of the ontology that may indeed have been presumed in the definitional process, but is almost impossible to go deep into through semantic analysis. Let me briefly outline the issues that I will not study in order to avoid misunderstandings. I do not try to make it
