18. John Locke,
Essays on the Law of Nature
, ed. Wolfgang von Leyden (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1954), pp. 11213. Locke's early notebooks show that he recommended Aristotle's
Nicomachaean Ethics
to his students. See Wolfgang von Leyden,
Aristotle on Equality and Justice: His Political Argument
(New York: St. Martin's Press, 1985), p. 35, n. 3.
19. Von Leyden,
Aristotle
, p. 87: "In my opinion, this fact provides firm evidence that Aristotle's doctrine, in addition to his analysis of the concept of conventional law, contains part of an authoritative formulation and one of the original sources of natural-law theory." Other scholars, however, deny that Aristotle was an early proponent of natural law. See D. N. Schroeder, "Aristotle on Law,"
Polis
4 (1981), pp. 1731.
20. E.g., Aristotle,
Nicomachaean Ethics
1144b46 (6.13) and 1151a18 (7.8).
