Contribuições de Rousseau ao entendimento dos desastres socioambientais contemporâneos

Abstract

This paper aims at contextualizing Rousseau’s critiques of what would later be called the socio-environmental ethics, which entails analysis not only of the relations of men with the environment and the way these relations are determined, but also of the way the environment determines men’s ethical and political actions. We also intend to verify to what extent Rousseau’s thought may contribute to the understanding of current socio-environmental disasters.
