Introduction
摘要
The fundamental thesis of this book is that all the initiatives it explores, and all the theories that underpin them, constitute a single, (perhaps unintentionally) cohesive and novel way for legal theory to imagine itself. Not only, they also represent a single overall attempt to harmonize legal theory with an ecological view of the world and of humanity’s role within it. Just as ecology has entered the vernacular of most disciplines, it has done so within law and legal theory as well. The fundamental thesis of this book, therefore, is that the Western legal world (and the legal world in general) is in the midst of the emergence of a veritable ecological jurisprudence.
