This article on ontological perspectives on forests seeks to contribute to the development of a forest ontology that will make it possible to examine and strengthen the theoretical, political, institutional, legal, educational and technical framework of the forest sciences and to review the relationship with forests, which to date is strongly anthropocentric. It is concluded that the confl uence of positivist science, hegemonic economy and politics, reinforced by forestry education and communication, is leading to the institutionalized hegemonic approach of the ontology of the forest and the human being. Even sustainable development is not an accurate proposal as long as it maintains the essence of its economic orientation and its instrumental relationship with nature and forests. In this separation, forests are reduced to providers of renewable natural resources, natural capital or good...

This article aims to reflect on the scopes of bioethics in the commercial wood exploitation from tropical natural forest concerning their impacts on wildlife. To this end, a bibliographic review is carried out and a reflection is made in the light of bioethics and bio development proposals. It has been found that in certified forestry operations that are carried out at low intensity, the impacts on wildlife are minimal. Nevertheless, there are also limitations in terms of the scientific basis and methodological consistency of the assessments, which is why more rigorous systematic studies with greater temporal scope. Until now, forest management is based on a disjunctive ontological paradigm that separates human beings from nature and considers the forest as a source of forest products and opportunities for generating economic income, even though they have advanced significantly at the le...

This article aims to take out guidelines for addressing future pandemics from the recognition of the close relationship between nature and society through the application of the complex adaptive systems approach. From the review, it is concluded that the adoption of the complex adaptive systems approach allows assuming the complexity paradigm when addressing pandemics, reinforcing the reductionist systems approaches that, while it is true that they respond in cause and effect linear situations, they have limitations when facing phenomena with the characteristics of complexity: self-organization (emergency), non-linearity (chaos), adaptation-evolution (cybernetics) and interconnectivity (network structure), among others. From the approach of the complex adaptive systems and the socio-ecological systems, it is possible to understand the close interrelationships and interdependencies betwee...

This article aims to clarify the relationships between complex thinking and postmodern thinking. It also seeks to identify convergences and differences in order to establish possible synergies. It is concluded that although complex thinking is somehow heir to postmodernism, and some of its promoters and practitioners do not recognize such characterization, complex thinking has its own characteristics that make its representation more defined than postmodern thinking conceived as a mixture of trends and proposals. Since both dimensions do not have the same epistemological pretensions, it is not necessarily possible to speak of establishing bridges because there would be no interlocutors from postmodern thinking that could rather be typified as a cultural expression with different manifestations without clear recognition of time, spaces or characters. This situation does not happen with co...

This reflective article deals with complexity and the Rights of Nature. It seeks to answer the question: How does complexity contribute to the sustenance of the Rights of Nature? For this purpose, a specialized bibliographic search was carried out. From the research it is concluded that complex thinking and the Sciences of Complexity, by being more open to epistemological and ontological diversity, by taking into account the close interrelation, interdependence and co-dependence between human beings and Nature, by highlighting from organicism the living character of the planet in cosmic relation, offer solid arguments that support the Rights of Nature. Although the Rights of Nature imply legal protection, with the State as guarantor of rights, the issue goes beyond this because what is at stake is the recognition of the intrinsic value of life in all its manifestations, beyond even senti...

Se hace una revisión de las formas de abordaje de la informalidad en la gestión ambiental y se alcanzan sugerencias a tomar presente en el desarrollo de alternativas conducentes a mejorar su abordaje. Se concluye que hace faltapasar de un enfoque de culpabilidad a un enfoque integrado e integrador que recupere los principios de la sustentabilidad y la ética. Además se resalta la importancia de incorporar la interculturalidad y la ética en el diálogo sobrealternativas transformadoras.

Este artículo revisa algunas de las premisas éticas desde las que usualmente los involucrados se acercan al manejo forestal con la finalidad de contrastarlas con nuevas aproximaciones al manejo forestal que permitan fundamentar un enfoque más diverso y humanista para los ecosistemas forestales peruanos. Para el efecto se realiza una revisión bibliográfica relevante sobre el tema y se complementa con la experiencia de campo de los autores en la Amazonia peruana. Se concluye que el sector productivo forestal peruano tiene que ampliar la comunidad moral para desarrollar una interacción más respetuosa con el bosque que supere objetivos fundamentalmente centrados solo en la madera y en los ingresos económicos. En esta perspectiva, es importante concebir a los bosques como socioecosistemas en tanto ofrece una perspectiva más integral de interrelaciones sociedad naturaleza y permite un...

A reflection is orientated on the paper of the anthropology in Peru. After a long time of the Peruvian Reality Research in the Andes, the Amazon, Lima and Villa El Salvador, and various periods of field work in Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia. Discovering the political process of the Zapatistas in Chiapas and Political Movements indigenous in Ecuador and Bolivia, in which the established order is questioned and new horizons are offered, not only for Indigenous Peoples and our countries, also Chinese for the whole world a Fo-llowing is the vision of Peru from an anthropological reflection that can either be extended to all the Social Sciences and Humanities.

Following the path that the discipline of anthropology has traveled in Peru throughout the Twentieth Century in relationship to other social and political processes that the country and Latin America faced, the author reflects upon the burgeoning of a critical thought in the anthropologies of Latin America and how critical we are of the different social sciences and what these do or fail to do with regards to the problems presented by reality to the inhabitants of each of these countries.

By reviewing the academic and political biography of Anibal Quijano, this article reflects around the socialization of power, one of the Peruvian thinker’s proposals, during his second intellectual stage. It begins with his formation, to highlight his initial adherence to Marxism, his sociological production, his commitment and political militancy through the Socialist Revolutionary Movement, the creation of Sociedad y Política magazine, inter alia. This goes hand in hand with two key events in the socio-historical Peruvian process: the emergence of Villa El Salvador and the formation of the Left Revolutionary Alliance. Events to which Quijano’s attention was no stranger.

The essay traces a political and historical review of inner trends in the Latin American welfare-oriented government. On the one hand, the case of Brazil, which is undergoing severe political crisis. On the other, the Bolivia case, which faces adverse political issues, nonetheless, keeps going on the struggle to sustain and deepen the Bolivian society shifts with the commitment of social organization from El Alto and the indigenous communities.
