Abstract

The ongoing anthropogenic environmental degradation in outer space is unpredictable and disruptive. A new understanding of the cosmic and post-anthropocentric politico-juridical space—or the ‘cosmolegal’—might provide an alternative framework. The ‘cosmolegal’ argument responds to the ‘cosmic’ need to rethink the anthropogenic self-understanding of humanity's law because humanity has been approaching the ‘infinity’ of space with a legal consciousnesses firmly rooted in terrestrial human values. This approach needs to change due to the unknown and known consequences of the rapidly expanding human presence in outer space.
