This paper examines Kelsen's critique of natural law from the perspective of Thomas's conception of justice, the most significant thinker of traditional natural law. To illuminate the claims of his pure theory of law, Kelsen once made strong and indiscriminate assaults on all the theories of Western natural law. This paper will first give a brief account of his critique. Then, it will examine, from Thomas's point of view, whether or not Kelsen's challenges are well-grounded enable him to disprove natural law. It will also show that Kelsen's and his pure theory of law is either well-grounded or that his misunderstanding about the theories of law makes his critique of natural law unfounded, at least for Thomas's conception of jurisprudence.
