RESUMO
This work aims to study the epistemological concept of environmental sustainability through Cartesian and economic theoretical paradigms. This analysis guides the modern society development, which causes deterioration on social and environmental fields. It also includes the environmental history study, which expresses, over time, different sustainability concept meanings, so, nowadays, sustainable development is a widespread idea. These different conceptions are analyze on theories like; Kuznets´s, Solow´s, market laws, ecodevelopment and ecossocialism, grouped in two main ideas: the radical ecology, concept focused on changes in the current development model; and moderated ecology, suggesting soft changes, without affecting the society structure. These conceptions differ about the configuration of the environmental debate structures relationships: the social and economic fields, which use ideas such as, education, interdisciplinary, technology and sustainable development in several ways. These analyses are translated to scientific research, an important environmental discussion forum issue by questioning the character of science, taking FAPESP Thematic Projects as data for a case study. Despite this possibility, these projects follow the concept of environmental sustainability adopted by the economic system, the moderate ecology, which based its solutions on technique, coherent to the prevailing paradigms.
