The Laws of Nature and the Nature of Law

Abstract

In the present work, the author narrates the transition occurred don the science realm, going from a rationalist and mechanist vision of the world, to a more holistic and ecologist one. Still, he shows that this transition has not occurred in the realm of law, which still remains in the previous paradigm. Thus, parting from the conception of law as a vehicle of social action, the author highlights the need that the change occurred in the science realm must happen also in the law paradigm, so it can reach a state of ‘ecology of law’.
