         "During the past three decades, a radically new paradigm has emerged at the forefront of science. At the heart of paradigms from a mechanisticv to a holistic and ecological worldview we find a change of metaphor: from seeing the world as a machine to understanding it as a network. Networks, of course, are patterns of relationships; hence, understanding life in terms of networks requires an ability to think in terms of relationships and patterns. In s...cience, this new way of thinking is known as "systems thinking" or systemic thinking. We have also realized that nature sustains life through a set of ecological principles that are generative rather than extractive.
        A corresponding paradigm shift has not het happened either in jurisprudence or in the public understanding of law. Such a shift is now urgently needed, since the major problems of our time are systemic problems - all interconnected and interdependent - and our global crisis is an ecological crisis in the broadest sense of the term.
             In this book, we call for a profound change of legal paradigms, leading to a new "ecology of law". At the heart of this new ecological legal order lies a view of social reality not as being an aggregate of individual "building blocs" but rather as being composed of social networks and communities. Law, in this view, is not an objective structure, but emerges from actively engaged citizen and legal communities as the legal embodiment of their self-organization."
