Resumo: | This essay discusses the environmental sustainability theme from the Second Law of Thermodynamics - Entropy Law - with reference to the discussions of the economist and mathematician Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen on the environmental limits to economic development. When considering the entropy as the most economical of all physical laws, the author analyzes the inevitable consequences of entropic processes of human activities, criticizing the theory of balance between the environment and economic development, calls into question the very concept of sustainable development. The theoretical bases of their ideas, based on the classic postulates of the natural sciences, have important contributions for the critical perspective of environmental education and for the science education. |

Ao considerar a Entropia como a mais econômica de todas as leis físicas, o autor analisa as inevitáveis consequências entrópicas das atividades humanas; criticando a tese do equilíbrio entre meio ambiente e desenvolvimento econômico, coloca em xeque o próprio conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável. As bases teóricas de suas ideias, fundamentadas nos postulados clássicos das ciências da natureza, trazem contribuições importantes à perspectiva crítica da Educação Ambiental e à educação científica.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2015-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/1691910.5902/2236117016919Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 19, N. 2, MAY-AUG., 2015; 1124-1132Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 19, N. 2, MAIO-AGO., 2015; 1124-11322236-11702236-1170reponame:Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/16919/pdfhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Leila Cristina AoyamaMarques, Carlos Alberto2022-09-12T18:08:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16919Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/regetPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/oaimarcelobdarosa@gmail.com||reget.ufsm@gmail.com2236-11702236-1170opendoar:2022-09-12T18:08:57Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
