Summary:The perception crisis as part of the scientific knowledge crisis is expanded by inversions caused by merchandise development. They are interdependent dimensions of the environmental epistemology dilemmas which have been analyzed in this study, such as the customization of goods and the reification of people. These and other inversions obstruct the understanding of essential aspects relating to the current environmental issues, arising from a particular development model driven by production and consumption.

Such science constitutes itself through interdisciplinary exercise, having in knowledge dialogue its own dynamism.
