Nomos is an ancient Greek word with several layers of meaning. In ancient Greece, Nomos (νόμος) meant law, custom, or social order. It carried the idea of both written laws and unwritten conventions that governed society. In philosophical and political thought, it often refers to the framework of rules that structure society and bind people together. Luminaries such as John Locke and Carl Schmitt used the concept to explore how law is rooted in both authority and social contract. Today in legal philosophy, it symbolizes the intersection of law and morality, the “rules of the game” that allow people to coordinate and pursue prosperity together.
