This article aims at associating the environmental philosophical thought or the principles of an ecophilosophy with a narrative study about environmental education, considering its impact on science, life and the development of sustainable societies. The methodological approach advocated includes a philosophical investigation. As an epistemological paradigm, the ecological thinking advocates methodological principles in which environmental issues involve human values and are not limited to scientific aspects. It recognizes the existence of a sensible reason as part of human nature, and its social effects and environmental impacts as well. The ontological and epistemological bases that guide the methodological assumptions and inform methods and actions can enhance and enrich the environmental education field. It seeks to establish a consistent movement of research methodologies, epistemologies and ontologies, and also question the nature and the uses of the interpretation of environmental education.
