With man on Earth, Nature is being permanently rediscovered through the creation of social nature. The progressive rupture between man and his surrounding is quickened by mechanization. More recently, with globalization of economy, politics and culture, there are no longer totalizing relations between society and environment. Through technoscience, nature and man become reciprocally hostile. Tecnicized nature emerges as an abstraction that demands a discourse. Environmental problems are only an aspect of this evolution, and ask for a comprehensive approach, in order to reach its correct interpretation. University must fly away from technical and conformicist reasonning and face the understanding of the world as a whole.
