TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguish four phases of the relationship between man and his life conditions, which can be regarded as an historical series, but they can also all be found among currently existing societies at various stages of development.
Abstract: Environmental law is the law regulating the relationship of us to nature, understood both as the world around us and AS the nature we carry within ourselves. (Therefore the term 'environment', with its primarily external connotation, is actually an inadequate term.) I would like to distinguish four phases of this relationship between man and his life conditions. These phases might be regarded as an historical series, but they can also all be found among currently existing societies at various stages of development.

TL;DR: In the year of the bi-centenary of the French Revolution, the idea of revolution passed from its ancient connotation - cyclical, revolving movements in the political order - to its modern connotation: the creation of new social and political order as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: What meaning can we give to the notion of socialist revolution in the advanced capitalist countries today? It is appropriate to raise this question in the year of the bi-centenary of the French Revolution. 1789 is usually taken as marking the historical moment when the concept of revolution, as we understand it today, emerged; when the idea of revolution passed from its ancient connotation - cyclical, revolving movements in the political order - to its modern connotation: the creation of an entirely new social and political order. With 1789 we can date '... the revolutionary spirit of the last centuries, that is, the eagerness to liberate and to build a new house where freedom can dwell, [which] is unprecedented and unequalled in all prior history'. Few would dispute that this eagerness for fundamental social transformation was carried into the world of the twentieth century by socialism, with its aspiration for liberation from the paradoxical freedom of the bourgeois revolution, that is, from the competition and exploitation upon which capitalist social relations are founded; and with its aspiration to build a fully democratic, cooperative and classless society where freedom and equality might realize rather than negate the sociability of humankind.
