Abstract

This work seeks to highlight two theoretical-political and cultural constructions, human rights and nature’s rights, in the face of the challenges and contradictions of modernity based on anthropocentrism and an instrumental economic rationality. Considering them as projects of society, we sought to rescue their characterizing elements, their tensions and their emancipatory potential in the face of social, cultural and socio-environmental contradictions arising from the hegemonic model of development. The authors’ hypothesis is that these two projects can be worked on in an integrated manner, seeking to aggregate and articulate their emancipatory potential, in view of a society based on the interrelationship between human rights and nature’s rights. The methodology used was bibliographical research, linked to the empirical observation of the dialectical process of social praxis around human and nature’s rights. In view of the analyses and reflections developed, it was concluded that the hypothesis was confirmed, with the affirmation of the human rights and nature project, with its guiding potential in the face of the contemporary challenges of realizing human and nature’s rights.
