Time, Space, and the Gestalt: Situating Law, Justice, and Sustainability in a Globalizing World
摘要
We hold the conviction that globalization is primarily spatio-temporal and secondarily everything else to which it has generally been allied—economic, political, cultural, and social. This conviction warrants a strict phenomenological approach, which this chapter takes. However, consciousness and experience—a “phenomenology proper”—can only be explained contextually. Hence, the chapter after setting time-space (gestalt) as a milieu, submits, through many scholarly voices, certain contextual analyses of the phenomenology of the many modes of socializing. In those analyses, law is the dialectical locus and sustainability the dialectical other. Later on, the chapter also pits the contexts to dialogue with each other, revealing their discursive unity and collective reformative spirit. Be assured, there is a major project recovery in the world.
