Abstract
The contribution of
the environmental philosophy to the XX and XXI centuries philosophy renovation
and their capacity to be applied to all aspects of social life is the core of
this essay. The history of philosophy on the West is focused on the human
condition, the environmental philosophy drive its thought to a global view of
biodiversity and geodiversity, enlarged by the concept of biosphere. The
dominant perspective of the modern philosophy set the morale in the order of the
rules and social conventions and leave the ethics on the field of personal
experience. Analyzing the concept of Kantian reason, and its ethic’s
corollaries, this essay propose develop them to a new concept, “Environmental
Reason”. Conceptualized as a new categorical imperative to the men’s action,
beyond the principle that prescribe that we must conform individual acts with a
universal law, configuring the human conduct within the limits that safeguard
the continuity of life, but also the intrinsic values of earth and its
biodiversity and geodiversity. A new perspective ethics founded in the
principles of the critique of anthropocentrism and the critique of ethnocentrism
represent a new ontology, and.a new epistemology, that could lead to a new
ethics universal theory. Keywords: environmental reason; moral; ethics;
anthropocentrism; ethnocentrism.
