REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS OF NATURE WITH VIEWS TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

In ancient times, philosophers and thinkers have developed a conception of nature as a living organism, albeit with different biases, where there were several thoughts from the mechanistic model of Descartes (1596-1650) in modern thought, where "doubt everything" and fragment into parts to study, became his principle, Bacon and nature imbued with legal and political values, with nuances of thought ancient Greek and Latin, with notions of Plato and Aristotle (While describing rejection of both). Marx and the Industrial Revolution, Smith and his interpretation of Marx to the time of the industrial revolution, now Enrique Leff and his vision epistemological environment, observes that the capitalist system separating man and nature, as a consequence of a process of production / reproduction, imposing rhythm of man and not the nature. The paper aims to carry out an exploratory research through literature review, reviewing concepts, discussing them and observing their particularities, leading to formation of the current concept of nature. Concluding that the various conceptual collisions lead to note that a unique design and uncompromising nature becomes inconceivable environmental issues facing the world today, where they press for survival while maintaining the natural.
