Metabolismo social y derecho ambiental: otra mirada sobre el orden social y la naturaleza. Reflexiones desde la perspectiva de la sociología

Abstract

This essay reflects upon the social relations between human actors and other elements of Nature: they become a real brotherhood amongst them, stemming from the mutual exchange of the same matter-energy physical (properly called "social metabolism"). Examined all this against the mirror of complex systems and interdisciplinary assumptions, the radical basis of brotherhood among all elements of Nature reveals the ground upon which the juridical system of "rights of Nature" can be objectively founded, (analogous, delegated rights). More even so, when the basis of all rights is illuminated by phenomenology, a case in point here. Altering essential structures of matter constitutes a violation of rights; justifying it, demands a rigorous examination, moral, of consequences.
