This paper points out some criticism done to the modern scientific knowledge within the environmental movement, specially emphasizing the Cartesian philosophic ideas. We consider the educational process as a fundamental stage to diminish or even to revert the scenery of environmental degradations. Some limits of such criticism are analyzed, namely, the historical-social non-contextual shaping of such ideas. Finally, we focus the inadequacy that causes the repetition of such criticism to the modern science for the educational process.
