Vacíos en la literatura sobre filosofía de la educación ambiental: una revisión de las corrientes de la filosofía ambiental

Resumen

El presente artículo es un producto preliminar del proyecto de investigación “Una propuesta de lineamientos para la formación ambiental en la educación superior colombiana”, adelantado con la Universidad Antonio Nariño durante los años 2011 y 2012. Son dos los objetivos que se persiguen: por un lado, demostrar el vacío de la literatura sobre filosofía de la educación ambiental; y por otro lado, mostrar que a pesar de que las reflexiones epistemológicas sobre filosofía ambiental son pobres, la literatura sobre corrientes de la filosofía ambiental es prolífica. De manera que el orden de la exposición recurre, primero, a una revisión de la literatura sobre filosofía de la educación ambiental; segundo, a una revisión de la literatura sobre filosofía ambiental; y tercero, a un análisis de las principales corrientes, a saber, la ecología profunda, la biología de la conservación, el biorregionalismo y el ecofeminismo.

Palabras clave:

Ecología profunda

biología de la conservación

biorregionalismo

ecofeminismo

Deep ecology

conservation biology

bioregionalism

ecofeminism
