Climate change and cultural paradigm: steps to emerging ecophilosophy

Abstract

Under each implicit in the climatic situation component, reflection becomes increasingly necessary, so that philosophical discussion is presented as a fundamental way to address it. In this regard, we must remember that some schools of philosophy defined the XXI century will be the century of solidarity or barbarism. So the exploration of the future challenges for environmental thinking is suggested by resorting to dialogue on major philosophical concerns about the environment. This philosophical exercise provides inputs for education, mainly environmental, to be transformed into a school of thought that instead of promoting remedial action to disasters caused by the current system, generating lines of thought that promote profound changes and not just marginal. Education to guide and direct the thinking and way of doing that one who has brought us to the current environmental crisis.
