Abstract
On the basis of Foucault, this essay outlines a critical perspective for understanding the political and scientific conceptualization of the environment that emerges in contemporary concern with the environmental crisis. Current interest in environmental problems is a manifestation of what Foucault defined as the biopolitics of population. This new government rationality is linked to the extension and instilutionalizalion of new spheres of scientific knowledge, expressed in the ecology of modern systems. It also considers Foucault's characterization of the natural sciences and, on the basis of this, analyzes the significance of this type of sciences in contemporary biopolitics.
