APONTAMENTOS PARA CONSTRUÇÃO DA RACIONALIDADE AMBIENTAL

The notes for the construction of Environmental Rationality proposed in this text were gathered from a contribution of an analysis of phenomenology, epistemology, and ontology relating to Marx. This initiative aims to broaden and deepen the understanding of environmental issues whose global changes raise challenges, especially for the scientific community. It is to question the development of the economic rationality from the degradation of natural resources engendered by the current socio-economic development model. This model is based on the increase of productivity, technological expansion and maintains the norm as if natural resources were still considered abundant and limitless. The transition of this Environmental Rationality is a development sought by using the knowledge gained from the analysis possibilities of phenomenology. Among these possibilities, the indicated interdisciplinary schools of thought, as required by epistemology, can become an interesting research strategy, since it has as the starting point the external demands, where the elements of the current environmental issue exist, and its consequences.
