Nanotecnologia, ambiente e direito: desafios para a sociedade na direção a um marco regulatório

Abstract

Nanotechnology launches a new era of technological convergence without ancestors from the human society history, whether its branches are placed in the majority of sciences and establishes new ways of communication. Analyze nanoparticles is being in front of something thoughtless because all scientific knowledge acquired is not the parameter, because the dimension has directly influence in nano elements, so a small difference in dose can be lethal for humans while a right one makes the fictional science becomes real. The purpose is to observe transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity of operations involving nanotechnology and the society into the imbrications of economy/technological advance, technological advance/consumption, consumption/environment, nanotechnology/normative systems. To the science, nanotechnology arises like a standard of measurement, while it arises like a power mechanism in economic communication. Nanotechnologial wave is inquired as the unique capable form to elevate human life standards in all meanings behind the lack of conclusive researches. The ideas shown try to find ways to reduce complexity? The contingency involving the development of nanotechnology and management risk to human life and environment makes the normative systems be a structural linkage that will mediate the relationship between the systems involved. Progressist positions that seek precaution are confronted giving the possibility to the observer form one critic awareness in relation to the subject. Several national documents/reports and of international ambit are shown. They seek complexity reduction involving nanotechnology. National normative systems and of international ambit can be applied beyond disposable native judicial referred to the topic. According to the second order observation proposed by the theory of autopoiese systems by Niklas Luhmann, it is possible to link nanoscience to the social reality in the way to build a new social view from an epistemological rupture.
