Abstract

This study is the result of a bibliographical research about the characteristic civilizational crisis of postmodernity and the inadequacy of the epistemology forged by the dominant hegemonic system to deal with multidimensional problems such as environmental degradation, accentuation of inequalities, violence and the aggravation of poverty .Scientific knowledge, validated by modern science and called the only legitimate way of access to knowledge, relegates so-called "traditional knowledge" to marginality or, in more extreme cases, contributes to the extinction of these knowledge. In this study we highlight the urgency of constructing a new rationality that promotes understanding and respect for differences and solidarity between knowledge, the relevance of the hybridization of knowledge from the dialectical relationship between plural knowledge in the transition from capitalist rationality to environmental rationality and environmental knowledge and transdisciplinarity as pillars of mediating pedagogy of environmental rationality.
