Abstract
This article presents some epistemological assumptions to build a critical environmental education (EE) by discussing the boundaries between EE and non-anthropocentric paradigms as part of a transforming reflection regarding our relationship with nature. The arguments show that in the realm of a new and genuine non-anthropocentric perspective we should consider the interests of non-human animals not only because of ethical reasons ? for they are bearers of intrinsic value and ?subjects of a life? - but also because this new attitude would unravel positive consequences concerning sustainability in its most distinct dimensions. To accomplish that, there is a discussion on the interface between EE and the concepts of speciesism and veganism ? both linked to the so called ?animal abolitionism? ? as key-concepts to build an ecocentric ethics.
