Los problemas ambientales: un nuevo llamado a la vita activa de la filosofía

Abstract

Abstract

The impact the environmental problems have generated in natural and human sciences systems is presented in a general way, particularly the main intellectual arousal derived from Western philosophy. In the light of this outlook, an “axiomatic” approach for a philosophy of sustainability will be proposed.

Keywords:
