Matriz Epistémica para una Ecoeducación desde el Sur como mediación para proponer una ecosofía educativa alternativa
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article introduces the Epistemic Matrix for an Eco-education from the South, as well as an educational ecosophy that contributes to overcoming the conception of modern rationality as univocal by using a theoretical and philosophical inquiry as a methodological strategy to produce knowledge. Firstly, we review the background of eco-education, which stems from the compound referred to here as hegemonic North epistemologies. Subsequently, we hold a dialogue with views that enrich eco-education from the epistemic South, understood as an educational process based on decoloniality, interpellation of modernity, recovery of ancestral knowledge that holds good, and understanding of nature as a subject with rights rather than an exploitable object. We conclude by explaining how this eco-educational proposal, comprised by biocentric/ecocentric, mental/existential, communal and spiritual education, constitutes a mediation that helps formulate an educational ecosophy that aligns with the above-mentioned basis and leads us to inhabit our world wisely.
