The essay explores the theory of natural law expressed by Mario Pagano (1748-1799), analysing its ontological, gnosiological and political components. Regarding the speculative issues of the foundation and knowledge of the natural law, Pagano moves with eclecticism between three different philosophical-juridical conceptions. 1) The natural law resides in the innate feelings of the human being. 2) The natural law coincides with the historical phenomenology of the juridical systems. 3) The natural law is the same for the physical and moral universe and observing the physics laws it is possible to infer the universal rules that must regulate the human societies. Among these conceptions, the third is the most relevant from a political prospective as it is the one on which Pagano grounds his political theory of natural human rights.
