- Abstract
The text discusses contemporary environmental thought in the philosophical and political perspective. such thought has become a hermeneutic frame of reference for understanding and interpretation of various fields of knowledge, from the standpoint of being, knowledge and political action of being in the world today, hence the emphasis on the relationship between Philosophy and Policy. The general argument that guides the discussion is that the current setting of epistemic ecological thought depends on a philosophical and political ideas gestated by movements advocating the transformation of social thought, the cultural and the political system of the advanced societies of the political context resulting from after World War II. The specific focus of the discussion are the philosophical ideas of max Weber and Jürgen Habermas, with emphasis on the concepts of rational, strategic action/communicative action, respectively. The ideas of these authors converge to explain the environmental thought as having a cultural rationality strategically oriented political action, but communicative tively linked to the world of life.
