Dialectics and Complexity of the Relationship between Nature, Politics and Law: a Marxist assessment
The anthropic approach to the human-nature relationship has significantly deteriorated the environment, especially in the 20th and 21st centuries.

| Resumo: | The anthropic approach to the human-nature relationship has significantly deteriorated the environment, especially in the 20th and 21st centuries. In this sense, since the 1960s and 1970s, several scientists have warned of an environmental crisis, which of course implicated human beings. A few years later, various international organizations, notably the UN, have developed programs, policies, and promoted laws to mitigate environmental damage. Alternative voices have emerged from different corners of the planet, classifying the crisis as civilizational rather than environmental. In this regard, they offer different assessments, proposing solutions that are distinct from the previous ones, as they are based on a biocentric view of nature. Therefore, this article will present considerations on both positions, attempting to answer the question: Environmental crisis? A civilizational crisis or a structural crisis of the capitalist mode of production? The third variant of our question, although derived from the biocentric position, is not fully answered by it. Therefore, the analysis will be conducted by returning to the Marxist conception of the relationship between society and nature, or human beings and nature, highlighting within this analysis the place of politics and law as mediators of this relationship. |
