Crítica ontológica da relação homem/natureza na sociedade capitalista moderna: a ecologia e suas refrações no serviço social

Abstract

The dissertation work presented, finds its theme in ecology and its object is the relationship between man and nature. The development of capitalism leads us to the split of the triad contained in the notion of being, and the consequent denial of its levels safeguards a considerable responsibility for the barbarity of the exploitation and degradation of nature in the relationship with the human, it is in this context, that the work is proposes to answer the following problem: Is it possible to say, 200 years after the second industrial revolution, that this metabolic rupture is one of the greatest social contradictions? Furthermore, can the resulting ecological crisis be understood as a consequence or is it born from the foundations of the capitalist project and its modes of production? To this end, we determined as a general objective: to understand, apprehend and analyze from the critical works of political economy, as Marx and the Marxist tradition explain the relationship of man with nature, considering the theoretical contributions of Social Work to the discussion, as well such as the contributions of the discussion to Social Work. In order to enable the achievement of the objective, we have established with specific objectives: (1) to explain historically the ecological crisis in the development of capitalism; (2) situating the ecological crisis as an expression of the “social issue”; (3) cover the ecological foundation of Marx's thought and the Marxist tradition. With a bibliographic nature and a qualitative approach, the research is guided by the horizon of understanding the decisive influence of capitalism in the degradation processes of nature, seeking to understand whether ecological transformations at the level of social consciousness are capable of creating conditions for a societal transformation, equally able to replace the common dimension of the human's relationship with nature.
