Abstract

Aspects that justify the necessary foundation of ambiental education in the ethical and anthropological elements and of natural philosophy are stated in this work, and it is also stated how development and science in the centuries XIX and XX have given their back to the understanding of the structure of physical nature. A work alternative in front of the ignorance towards the ambiental's problem integrity is the educating action towards the building of the human ambient. The expression " human ambient " is stated with the purpose of going beyond the social concept where people live together with responsibility and compromise, for going beyond their material needs, looking for the common welfare which at the same time is the personal welfare. In consequence, the action will be a goal of growth in human virtues to reach the progressive development of social values.
