EDUCATION, ANIMAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS: dismissing the anthropocentric paradigm
Journal Title: Revista Espaço do Currículo - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
This article intends to defendthe urgency of promoting a broad revision of the anthropocentric bias that has marked the programmatic contents of the different disciplines offered in Brazilian schools, in most diverse segments. In this sense, it bets on a reflection on the ethical basis on how non-human animals are being presented in formal educational spaces. We believe that the consolidation of the environmental debate surrounding issues such as garbage, pollution, health and conservation of species reiterates anthropocentrism and contributes to the unfeasibility of animals and environmental issues. It is, therefore, to lead the debate to a new paradigm, namely: the search for a form of non-specific education. For this, we intend, firstly, to present convergent basic concepts of animaland environmental ethics, so that we can identify the question regarding the relational value present in the environmental debate. From a different perspective on the place of animals and the environment, we intend to defend a pedagogical proposal that assumes the role of questioning the various forms of injustices committed against animals and the environment and, at the same time, presenting the notion of capacity imaginative, capable of stimulating individuals to reflect on the human-environment-human-animal relationship more empathically, through the mobilization of visual resources such as films and photographs.
