AS POSSIBILIDADES DE UMA SOCIOECOLOGIA EM AMARTYA SEN

Abstract

This paper discusses the notion of sustentability based on Amarthya Sen’s discussion  about human development and quality of life, seeking to reorganize the role and the value of the  human being among the challenges of development. The text tries to reflect about the contribution for a sociecology in Sen’s works, and of the presumed intelectual sense of being an antidote  to the economic approaches that codified nature as “the kingdom of goods” and at the same  time surrounded the human component with a profound lack of meaning and explicative value.
