PASSOS PARA UMA ABORDAGEM EVOLUCIONÁRIA DO DIREITO

The article puts forward some fundamental ideas for the development of an evolutionary approach to law based on the radical behaviorist concept of a social system as a web of interlocked behavioral patterns. After discussing the three levels of behavioral evolution, namely phylogenetic, ontogenetic and sociocultural, the article explains how the emergence of a functionally specialized legal system based on legal organizations was able to internalize the process of legal evolution through the selection of legal norms by means of second-order legal contingencies.
