Afterwards, the assumptions and elements of environmental rationality theory are presented. Environmental crisis is a modern rationality crisis which increased the man-nature segregation, reducing the environment to the condition of natural resources warehouse. The Environmental rationality purposes to overcome nature mercantilizing emphasized in the economic model and the overcoming through a mode of production founded in the entropic limits of nature.
