AMBIENTAL GAPS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY LITERATURE:: A REVIEW OF TRENDS IN ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

摘要

This article is a preliminary product of the research project "A proposal of guidelines for environmental training in Colombian Higher Education" carried out with Universidad Antonio Nariño during the years 2011and 2012. There are two objectives to be achieved: to demonstrate the void of literature on environmental education philosophy and to show that, despite the epistemological reflections on environmental philosophy are poor, the literature on trends in environmental philosophy is prolific. Thus, the order of the presentation is, first, a literature review on environmental education philosophy;, secondly, a literature review on environmental philosophy; and in third place, an analysis of the main trends, namely, deep ecology, conservation biology, bioregionalism and ecofeminism.
