摘要：The environmental crisis requires a critical reflection concerning the assumptions which guides modern Western society. In abandoning the conception of Nature as an organic and self-determined form of life; moreover, conceiving it as an object of domination, Nature is thus subtracted from ethical relationships. The approach that inspires our understanding of ethical crisis in this paper discusses how the categories of responsible act and alterity in Mikhail Bakhtin and Emmanuel Lévinas, respectively, can surpass the relationship frame human-to-human, reaching new ways of responsibility which could include relationship frame human to non-human-Otherness which is also recreated by culture. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to contribute to the field of environmental education through an approximation of the concept of Nature to the core sense of alterity/difference inherent in the responsible act towards the ideal of infinite ethical. Nature must be placed as an Other that should go further beyond from domination/servitude grammars.
