SILVA, Luciano Fernandes and INFORSATO, Edson do Carmo. Algumas considerações sobre as críticas ao conhecimento científico moderno no contexto do processo educativo e a temática ambiental. Ciência educ. [online]. 2000, vol.06, n.02, pp.169-179. ISSN 1516-7313.
This paper points out some criticism done to the modern scientific knowledge within the environmental movement, specially emphasizing the Cartesian philosophic ideas. We consider the educational process as a fundamental stage to diminish or even to revert the scenery of environmental degradations. Some limits of such criticism are analyzed, namely, the historical-social non-contextual shaping of such ideas. Finally, we focus the inadequacy that causes the repetition of such criticism to the modern science for the educational process.
Keywords : Environmental Issues; Educational Process; Cartesianism.
