摘要：This article relates to the contemporary environmental dialogue, from the perspective of the Legal Field, with epistemological and methodological considerations. The Environmental Field is taken as a starting point to explore the contributions and limitations of the Legal Field in such dialogue, in the light of Legal Realism. The idea of this article is to explore what the real impact of law on society is, and investigate whether it is possible to promote social and environmental change through changes in legislation, relating this question to the Environmental Field thru the ideas of 'entanglement' and 'civilizing decision'. We conclude that different epistemic schools offer different solutions to the environmental crisis and that, by considering Legal Realism, a law can be seen as interwoven in the entanglement.
