Sustentabilidade Ambiental: visão antropocêntrica ou biocêntrica?

Abstract

The anthropocentric culture governs much of the world dictating modes, fashions and concepts. The anthropocentrism as dualistic conception of the world is based on supposedly objective and real separation between man and nature, body and mind. In this movement we are facing the unsustainability of this paradigm leads us to other ways of perceiving existence: biocentrism, life as a referral center and to overcome these dichotomies. This article addresses the sustainability issue, pointing to the biocentric ethics as a possibility of realignment (circular) to build routes that add to the perception of man as part of nature and not as its owner. It is our goal to show some concrete ways of building sustainability guided by a biocentric ethics
