Systemic interactions between law, economics and organizations: considerations about the rupture with the cartesianism and the law as cost to the Business activity

Abstract

In the study of epistemology, two opposite theories can be found in an endless combat. On the one hand, the Cartesian proposal, which sees the world as a precise and predictable object, capable of being dissected into totally independent pieces without any communication among them, to make comprehension easier. On the other hand, there is the systemic approach, which states the contrary: the interaction between the parts is important for the functioning of the whole object. Thus, it is possible to conclude that, while the basis of the first theory is the separation of different disciplines, the second defends interdisciplinarity. Reality is rich to show numerous examples of mutual influence among Law, Economics and Administration. In this scenario, the Law, Economics and Organizations approach appears as an interesting mechanism for the solution of law controversies by the overcoming of the Cartesian paradigm.
