Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the relationship between nature and society and in this framework have been identified diverse paradigmatic contexts that may present to this more or less harmonic relationship.
 We could observe, during the course, the terms imposed by the dominant paradigm stemming from economic rationality and the need to transcend to a comprehensive environmental rationality of complexity (Conf. Leff, 1994; Morin, 1997). The latter, in Latin America, is integrated by pluralistic, original, pre-Columbian and indigenous knowledge, as well as an integration of social and environmental problems, which, in the face of the ideas imposed by the hegemonic paradigm, present alternatives to development (Gudynas, 2011).

Summary

Introduction

The present work aims to investigate the relationship between nature and society and in this framework have been identified diverse paradigmatic contexts that may present to this more or less harmonic relationship. Es por ello que acordamos con ideas como las expuestas por Leff (2006), quien ha mencionado que desde la modernidad, la naturaleza se ha ido desnaturalizando, objetivándose bajo el dominio de la especie humana y gracias a la ayuda de la ciencia al servicio de un modelo de desarrollo que le fue dando cada vez más herramientas para su instrumentalización.
