Description
The paper proposes the cosmolegal approach (or law for the cosmos, in the true sense and not as part of the more earth-bound philosophical tradition of cosmopolitanism), which is meant to encompass the process of learning and law-making through which the law would recognize the unpredictability of human/non-human relations. As a normative proposal, it emerges from theories on post-human legalities that argue for a move beyond the centrality of the human subject that acts upon the world (cosmos), as its object. In other words, the cosmolegal gains its impact from non-human, human, and hybrid agencies. This proposal aims for a fundamental change in thought and practice of modern law.
