    A ética ambiental na produção teórica em dissertações e teses sobre educação ambiental no Brasil
    (2020) SOUZA, Heluane Aparecida Lemos De; CAVALARI, Rosa Maria Feiteiro
    The environmental crisis is intertwined whit several factors, including a crisis of values. In that context, the environmental ethicsarises with the attempt to understand the relationship between human beings and the other elements of nature, and which values permeate the various relationships established. Its formulation, however, presents itself as an epistemological problem, given that the area of Ethics has specificities. In the theoretical scope, discussions about the ethical relationships between society and nature are built from many different perspectives and references. In this work, we deepen our discussions based on the reflections of Luc Ferry (1994) and Hans Jonas (2006). We affirm that the possibility of expanding the moral sphere, including non-human nature, implies for Education and, particularly, for Environmental Education, the need to discuss the values that guide it, starting to objectify not only more balanced and fair relations between humans, but between humans and non-humans nature. This paper, based on a master’s research that falls within the scope of the EArte Project, aims to understand the approaches to the theme environmental ethicsby Brazilian theses and dissertations in Environmental Education and, in addition, to characterize the contexts of research production in Environmental Education that refer to environmental ethics. It is a qualitative research inserted in the scope of an interinstitutional project of the type state of the art. Its documentary corpus is composed of seventeen research papers in Environmental Education that address the theme of the ethical relationship between society and nature, and the analyses were reasoned on the methodology of content analysisas proposed by Bardin (2009).Among the results, regarding the research productions contexts, in summary, it can be said that there is oscillation in the regularity of production with respect to the year of defense; master’s research account for 82% of the total analyzed. There is a great diversity of Higher Education Institutions and Postgraduate Programs to which research are linked, with a certain predominance of Postgraduate Programs in Law and Education productions. There is also a balance between the production in public and private institutions; there is a predominance of the South/Southeast axis as the production locus. Regarding the understandings that are being built about the ethical relationship between society and nature, in Environmental Education studies, eight differentperspectives can be identified, namely: Biocentric Perspective, Ethics of Responsibility, Bioethics, Neoliberal, Ecosocialist, Ecology and Spirituality, Catholic Environmental Ethics, Environmental/Ecological Ethics. We understand that the discussions that have been undertaken on the ethical relationship between human beings and non-human nature must take place within the Ethics area, seeking to reflect on their basements as the philosopher Hans Jonas proposes.
