The essay investigates the parable of the notion of sustainability from the founding moments of ‘ecological thought’, focusing on the failures of policies for sustainability and the limited contribution of humanistic and social disciplines for a different man/environment relationship. The path to the rediscovery of ecological thought ends questioning by dominant research and educational models, unable to deal with the cross-disciplinary demand required by the environmental question.
