TORRES CARRAL, Guillermo. Reflections Regarding Environmental Epistemology. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2016, n.58, pp.39-51. ISSN 0123-885X.

This article discusses the issue of the environment under the conditions of extreme destruction of the planet as a result of sociocultural evolution, and the crisis of knowledge that derives from man's non-adaptation to nature. Consequently, it poses some theoretical reflections in order to achieve an integral transformation that is both social and individual, on the path to a civilizational transition that requires overcoming the fundamental concepts of current socio-environmental reality. It therefore proposes some strategies for the construction of an environmental epistemology in that direction, which entails restructuring educational processes from a perspective based on diversity and, through the production of new social knowledge, surpassing a solitary view of reality in order to achieve one that is shared.

Keywords : Environment; sociocultural evolution; coadaptation; construction of knowledge; civilizational transition.
