Educação Ambiental e Questões Epistemológicas: algumas reflexões

Abstract

To understand the human-environment interaction in postmodernity, we must develop theories related to the notions of system, the body, the meanings, seeking the truth (science) and the good (philosophy), trying to invest in a moral energy. The Modernity, symbol of nature domination by a mathematical science that claims itself to be universal, suffers deconstruction by a Postmodernity, even if this idea still remains runny, so as to embrace diversity, unpredictability, multidimensional time, complexity etc. So, we ask: is there, in the Modernity X Postmodernity discuss, if appropriate, a methodological unity that would meet the requirements of Environmental Education or even of an Environmental Science? Considering it is multi-inter-transdisciplinary and that methodological differences do occur in science, could it support a multiplicity, placing it as an opening to a new vision of the world - equal, fair, democratic? Before the epistemological speeches: how to take a position for the recreation of values or proposes of Environmental Education in our reality? These are some of the questions raised in this text, but it is far from answering them.
