The Epistemological Status of the Sustainability Discourse [Spanish]

Abstract

Si bien el concepto de sustentabilidad surgió de una emergencia de la realidad-vida, el discurso de éste se observa diverso, incluso construido con supuestos onto-gnoseológicos y teleológicos diferentes. Esto se atribuye principalmente a las diferentes percepciones que de la vida poseen los individuos, así como a los intereses que la clase hegemónica tiene. Entonces, a partir de esas distintas percepciones de vida e intereses, se da una manera de actuar del ser humano en la Tierra; algunas veces en correspondencia con ella, pero otras tantas en franca agresión a la misma. Y si bien el camino de la vida es ella misma, ésta puede verse alterada hasta el colapso inclusive por las acciones antrópicas hegemónicas sostenidas en el planeta. Es por ello importante reflexionar sobre los entramados categóricos-conceptuales que subyacen al discurso para construir un pensar incluyente de todas las formas de la vida, que potencie la ecoexistencialidad del individuo-comunidad para el enriquecimiento del Todo.

Even though the concept of sustainability emerged from a reality-life emergency, its discourse seems diverse, built even on different onto-gnoseological and teleological assupmtions. This is mainly due to the different perceptions of life held by individuals, as well as to the hegemonic class interests. Then, derived from this different perceptions of life and interests, has been the behavior of human beings on the Earth; sometimes in accordance to it, but many others in outright aggression to it. And if life’s way shows life itself, it can be changed, even collapsed by the anthropic hegemonic actions that take place in the planet. It is therefore important to reflect on the categorical and conceptual frameworks that underlie discourse, in order to build a way of thinking that includes all formas of life, that enhances the eco-existentiality of the individual and its community for the enrichment of all.
