OROZCO ARCIERI, Carlos Andrés. The cuneiform writing in the evolution of the law. Research around the origins of the western law from the theory of society of Niklas Luhmann. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2015, n.44, pp.178-225. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.44.7199.

In this article we present the first results of the investigation "Me, Nomos, Ius", in which we seek to show a series of theoretical and methodological questions around the study of western law, its origins and its evolution, proposing a new transdisciplinary elaboration of the categories used. The study of Mesopotamian law involves a reconceptualization of the cuneiform writing because it has been studied from disciplines that usually remain isolated from each other. Here we propose the analysis of the cuneiform writing, based on archeology, asiriology, history, philology, anthropology, sociology and, above all, on the theory of socio-cultural evolution developed by Niklas Luhmann in the framework of his theory of society.

Palavras-chave : social evolution; cuneiform writing; Niklas Luhmann.
