Filósofos contemporâneos como Gianni Vattimo e Newton Aquiles von Zuben afirmam que uma noção única de natureza contribuiu para a difusão da metafísica dogmática, que por sua vez, solidificou totalitarismos políticos e religiosos. A Educação Ambiental latino-americana tem constituído um campo teórico e espaço público privilegiado para a difusão de noções de natureza, não dogmáticas, nem totalitárias, em estreitas relações com a diversidade cultural e social. Num primeiro momento da Educação Ambiental a noção de natureza estava relacionada aos recursos naturais. Desde que temas específicos relacionados com os discursos contemporâneos sobre a natureza, como a biodiversidade e os transgênicos ganharam o espaço público, argumentamos que a Educação Ambiental se viu diante de novos desafios teóricos, políticos, ecológicos, sociais, culturais e pedagógicos. Neste artigo procuramos identificar e analisar alguns desses desafios tendo como apoio teórico o pensamento do filósofo italiano Gianni Vattimo e do filósofo brasileiro Newton Aquiles von Zuben, nos aspectos relacionados à bioética e ao papel político da educação, na formação de cidadãos e cidadãs. Concluímos que a abordagem dos discursos contemporâneos sobre a natureza possibilita que o diálogo entre a Educação Ambiental e a bioética tende a se ampliar e a se concretizar em práticas sociais e pedagógicas cotidianas, apresentando-se, assim, como alternativa concreta para que cidadãos e cidadãs possam enfrentar os desafios trazidos com a biodiversidade e com os transgênicos, com argumentos científicos, éticos e políticos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The notion of nature has played an important role in philosophy and also in Environmental Education. Contemporary philosophers such as Gianni Vattimo and Newton Aquiles von Zuben declare that the notion of a single nature has contributed to the growth of a dogmatic metaphysics that has crystallized political and religious totalitarianisms. Environmental Education in Latin America has constituted a theoretical field and a privileged public space for the diffusion of non-dogmatic, non-totalitarian, notions of nature in close relationship to cultural and social diversity. At a first moment of Environmental Education the notion of nature was linked to natural resources. However, after specific themes related to the contemporary discourses about nature, such as transgenetics and biodiversity, have gained the public sphere we argue that Environmental Education has been facing new theoretical, political, ecological, social, cultural and pedagogical challenges. In the present article we try to identify and analyze some of these challenges, having as our theoretical foundation the ideas of Italian thinker Gianni Vattimo, and of Brazilian philosopher Newton Aquiles von Zuben, on the aspects related to bioethics and to the political role of education in the formation of citizens. We conclude that the approach to nature present in contemporary discourses helps to open out the dialogue between Environmental Education and bioethics, and to materialize it in daily social and pedagogical practices, thus representing a concrete alternative to allow citizens to face up to the challenges brought about by biodiversity and the transgenics with scientific, ethical and political arguments.]]></p></abstract>
