Abstract
It describes the processes through which two types
of rationality in the Social Sciences, a
pre-environmental rationality that conceives
society, in the words of Augusto Ángel Maya as "an
entelechy without roots in the environment"; and
an environmental rationality that makes it possible
to find the background of an ethical position called
ecosophy, from an "environmental dimension" that
opens a different historical perspective, based on
the relationship between forms of social
organization and the transformation of
ecosystems. This is possible through the
realization of a historical journey as a fundamental
element to find anchoring points that enable
environmental analysis, using as tool the
hermeneutical method. Reference is made to the
background that has constituted the new discipline of ecosophy in the second half of the 20th century,
starting from a new way of relating to the
environment, a new philosophy of life, in response
to the break in the planetary order with respect to
an anthropocentric position, due to the
environmental crisis caused by the human being.
This new philosophy of life is shared by many
authors such as Augusto Ángel Maya, Arne Naess,
Aldo Leopold, Sheila Collins, Edgar Morín, among
others who have understood that the relationship
between man and nature must be more
harmonious and they have been busy reflecting on
the respect, proposing new forms of more integral
relationship, as a mechanism to overcome the
global environmental crisis.
