Environmental Ontology: repositioning of Being on the horizon of Environmental Rationality

Abstract

This discussion is part of a thesis in Environmental Education, which proposed to discuss Being in two perspectives: the Instrumental Rationality and the Environmental Rationality. Asking about how the Environmental Rationality view could contribute to (re)define and situate Being, we did a hermeneutical exercise in order to broaden understanding of categories put to the study. Taking as a possible reference the theoretical perspective of Enrique Leff, we present alternatives to think Being on the horizon of a new Rationality, considering that, in addition to overcoming the pathologies of Instrumental Reason, it may be up in a new perspective to our way-of-being in the world.
