From ecosophy to deep ecology: for a new ecological and sustainable paradigm

Abstract

Currently, the issue surrounding sustainable development still faces strong resistance to effectuate a responsible acquaintanceship of human beings with the environment in which they live. In this sense, it is necessary to develop an ethical, epistemological and even political posture capable of developing a new sustainable paradigm. Thus, this article proposes to establish, as its objective, the dialogue between the concepts of ecosophy (Naess and Guattari) and deep ecology (Naess), in order to promote a human acquaintanceship with nature, evolving the ecological foundation of environmental sustainability. In order to carry out this investigation, the present research will take place through a scientific analysis of bibliographic nature, dialoguing concepts through a deductive approach method, searching to develop the evolution of the debate about the new ecological paradigm of sustainability. As a result, the composition of the objectives and methodology listed allows a glimpse of a new sustainable paradigm capable of bringing together the human collectivity and nature as equally members of the same natural community and, therefore, in an interdependent relationship.
