THE LAW BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND OEKOUMÈNE: FOR A PUBLIC NORMATIVITY

Abstract

The article has a philosophical framework of some of the concerns raised by the degradation of the environment and even the current global environmental crisis. He does this by updating the idea of the «oekoumene» to present his reasons and in particular to clarify our way of thinking about our relationship to the «environment» and «nature». Emphasis is placed on the implications, both practical and theoretical, of the choice of the perspective of the œkoumene, with regard to the paradigm of a legal modernity in perpetual construction.
