MANSANO, Sonia Regina Vargas  e  CARVALHO, Paulo Roberto de. Psychology, Philosophy and environment: outlining the concept of affective sustainability. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.3, pp. 696-714. ISSN 1808-4281.

The concern with the environment and the maintenance of a sustainable planet, whose natural resources are accessible for future generations, involves different areas of knowledge and government spheres. Public policies, bills, social movements and micropolitical initiatives put the issue of sustainability in evidence and seek to draw the attention of the population to an increasing difficulty and urgent: the preservation of life on our planet. Paying attention to this social reality, the present article aims at theoretical approach two concepts, studying them in-depth manner: sustainability and affection. Will be two major sources used as reference of this study: to the notion of sustainability, we will seek support in the works of Elkington (2001), Foladori (2002) and Guattari (1997). To address the concept of affection, the reference work is the "Ethics" of Espinosa (1677/1983), as well as the studies of two philosophers: Deleuze (2002, 2009) and Chauí (1995, 1999). We believe that this conceptual approach will make it possible to develop and substantiate the notion of "affective sustainability". As partial completion, the article shows that affection and environment are interrelated and, articulated, can promote complex concerns the human relationship establishes with nature.
