Abstract The present essay offers a sociological panoramic view of the development of modern environmental policy, of the new environmental movements and their paradigms , as well as a discourse-ethics (diskursethisch) reflection about the problematic relationship between the human being and nature. This reflection will connect the issue to an empirical vision of the problem as shown by the agents of environmental policies (to be described), systematize the ethical element of the different perspectives and will also provide a foundation, within the realm of discourse ethics, for a social approach to nature based on responsibility.
