• Resumen

  • Modern law is based in the existence of a constitutional order, guaranteeing the predictability of law. Since we are entering in new geological era, according to the contributions of Earth System Science, defined mostly by complexity and uncertainty, this hegemonic idea of order in law is challenged. This contribution explores how constitutional order was linked to the process of colonization of nature within the capitalist world system and how this process results into a planetary transformation. Discussing the Faustic expectations embedded in the some Anthropocene narratives, associated with the human manipulation of Earth System, the paper considers the profound consequences of the complexity of the intertwined ecosocial global system, and explores how supercomplexity gives way to a legal disorder which resolves itself into conflict and dialog.
