Ecosophy and the relationship between man and nature in contemporaneity

Abstract

Among its functions, Philosophy allows us to understand reality and, in view of today's environmental issues, Ecosophy consists of the study of the relationship between nature and human beings, proposing discussions between the environment, man and social relations in modern times. This work aims to reflect on the relationship of man with the environment through the principles of Ecosophy. The Ecosophy proposed by Guattari (2009) addresses our understanding, as part of the environment in which we live, and how we learn and act on the environmental issue, based on the three ecologies: that of the environment, that of social relations and that of human (mental) subjectivity. Thus, it is possible to understand that Ecosophy is more than a reflection on ecology, nature and man-nature relationship, it is a search forconcrete actions, taking into account man's interaction with the environment. In this way, Ecosophy stimulates a broad environmental awareness, making it possible to extract from the field of learning and knowledge the potential to become capable of understanding what our planet needs and reviewing our actions.
