Fritjof Capra and Ugo Mattei argue that the root of many environmental, economic, and social crises lies in legal systems based on outdated worldviews. Capra, a physicist, and Mattei, a lawyer, explain how, by incorporating concepts from modern science, law can become an integral part of making the world a better place, rather than contributing to its destruction. Over the past few decades, science has begun to view the natural and social world systemically, as a network. This approach is embodied in the concept of ecology. However, law remains stuck in the old mechanistic paradigm. The authors show that this has led to overconsumption, environmental pollution, and a widespread disregard for the common good. The book outlines the key concepts and structures of a legal order compatible with environmental principles, which presupposes a profound reconsideration of the foundations of the Western legal system.
