The paper purports to offer a survey of Kelsen's critique to natural law theory. After presenting Kelsen's own standpoint (scientific positivism), it considers in turn the main arguments Kelsen provides against natural law theory's ontological claim (there exists an objective, intrinsically binding, natural law), epistemological claim (natural law can be the matter of objective knowledge), and the scientificity claim (natural law theory is the scientific enterprise of discovering and explaining what natural law is).
