The Ecology of Law

The book explores the disconnect between contemporary legal systems and modern scientific understanding, emphasizing how outdated legal frameworks contribute to pressing environmental, economic, and social crises. Fritjof Capra and Ugo Mattei argue for a transformative approach that integrates scientific concepts of interconnectedness into the law. They highlight the historical interplay between law and science, advocating for a legal structure that prioritizes ecological principles and community welfare over individual property rights, ultimately aiming to create a more holistic and progressive legal system.
