Abstract
This paper is an attempt to build a different paradigm of environmental law in the conditions of the planetary transformation of the Earth in the context of such civilizational paradigms as archaic — modern — postmodern — supermodern with the transition to the sixth technological order. These realities require both traditional and innovative legal regulation. The spectrum of transformations includes the initial parameters of the current order, the hierarchy of structures and the dynamics of their interaction, the level of fluctuation and bifurcation vectors, as well as attractors for exiting the turbulence zone. In order to answer these questions, the authors monitor previous and current environmental and historical trends in the world and the goal setting of what we are building in response to the challenges of the future on the basis of expanding interdisciplinary horizons, a systematic approach, a new range of methodologies and conceptual and categorical apparatus. Through the method of multidimensional didactics, legal topics are associatively connected to the consonant tasks of other subject areas with logical structuring and analysis of isomorphic meanings and semantic models for optimal synthesis of the developed legal systems with ensuring their applied effectiveness and practical application options. Interdisciplinary registers make it possible to build a new ecological and legal doctrine with the correction of the mutual importance of man and nature in the conditions of the global collapse of the capitalist system, based on impoverished natural resources and an increasing ecological catastrophe. Since it is necessary to go to the capital coordinates of the living cosmos for earthly problems to be solved, the «reasonable man» has completed a purely earthly cycle of evolution and must position himself as a «Universal Man» with access to a new ecological political and legal paradigm. These should include formulas (semantic images), integrals (keys of wholeness) and algorithms (methods of action, ways achievements) rule-making matrices.
