| Sumario: | This article inquires into the meaning of the category of "Nature" from a critical examination of the conditions of inquiry in the context of the global environmental crisis. An exploration in a dialectical key is presented from this point of view. The process of historical discontinuity and continuity in the meaning is reconstructed, with the aim of both revealing the range of notions and uses currently associated with "Nature" that constrain the systematic treatment of environmental conflicts and problems, and making these notions intelligible from the understanding of their implicit assumptions and conditions of signification, derived from the dominant historical directions in the interaction with the material surroundings. The historical turning points in meaning will be highlighted by virtue of two dialectical axes: those that have brought associated turns in the conceptualization of the "social", and that have led to reinforce the correspondence between broad epistemological programs of inquiry and economic-political models of governance and transformation of reality. |
