Abstract

This article discusses the environmental crisis. The central hypothesis identifies the inadequacy of proposed solutions to the crisis, since they are signatories of the same scientific enlightenment paradigm. The concepts of paradigm, enlightenment and scientific revolution are discussed in the light of
international and national data. It is concluded that the construction of a new paradigm will require a conceptual model in which the central element provides insight into the meaning of natural, cognitive, epistemological and ethical limits.
