Law, enviromental law and systemic thinking

Abstract

Among the last years, human beings have gained awareness about the impact their activities have on the environment. Thus, the environmental rule has surfaced, departing from a connection between human actions, their consequences and the legal system.
In this article, the author proposes a simile between the functioning of our mind and the environment in order to fi nd a common element: connectivity; and a method of knowledge: systemic thinking. Likewise, an analysis is made about how the systemic should influence both the environmental law and the law in general to help civilization restore the balance.
