As racionalidades substantivas no debate socioambiental

"As racionalidades substantivas no debate socioambiental" is an academic book that addresses the complex issues of social and ecological rationalities. The author, José Edmilson de Souza-Lima, guides readers through a critical analysis that not only examines conventional instrumental rationalities but also foregrounds marginalized perspectives such as substantive and communicative rationalities. The book offers new epistemological approaches and methodological strategies aimed at expanding the discussion on social and environmental issues. It argues that traditional dualistic approaches are insufficient to capture the complexity of social and ecological challenges. Instead, an open concept of rationality is proposed, which takes into account the diversity of human experiences and interactions within the socio-cultural system. This comprehensive perspective allows conflicts to be understood not merely as oppositions but as opportunities for complementarity.
