Title: A ciência e o desenvolvimento sustentável: para além do positivismo e da pós-modernidade Author: Silva Neto, Benedito; Basso, David Abstract: The article discusses the epistemological consequences of adopting a concept of sustainable development that explicitly presupposes that the biosphere and the human societies are complex and open systems. It is argued that the Complexity Theory and the Critical Realism are fundamental approaches for enhancing the contributions of science to the challenge of sustainability.

Title: Riqueza,valor e políticas públicas para promoção da Agroecologia Author: Silva Neto, Benedito Abstract: The purpose of the article is to contribute to the elaboration of conceptual and theoretical foundations for the analysis and formulation of public policies for the promotion of Agroecology, especially from a critical examination of the concept of wealth proposed by authors connected to ecological economics and Marxist theory of value. The results indicate the need for a full recognition of the importance of value generation led by public policies, as well as its potential for the promotion of sustainable development by keeping the natural resources as collective goods. It is concluded that, through appropriate public policies, peasant agriculture, within the framework of Agroecology, could become an important component of a sphere of production of wealth and monetary nonmarket values, able to develop in a sustainable way and independent of any financial or economic support of the capitalist sphere.

Title: Agroecologia, ciência e emancipação humana Author: Silva Neto, Benedito Abstract: the article is discussed a scientific approach that can contribute to the overcoming of the contradictions caused by positivism and post-modernism conceptions regarding the emancipatory character of Agroecology. From a review of the specialized literature it is concluded that the concept of complexity, considering his ontologics, epistemologics and on the concept of sustainable development consequences, can fulfill an important role for the overcoming of such contradictions. It’s concluded that there is an huge conceptual, theoretical and methodological work to be carried out so that the scientific activities developed in the context of Agroecology can become more coherent with the emancipatory character of this field. In this sense, the article shows that the difficulties to reach such coherence must not be underestimated, since she implicates in the overcoming of conceptions deeply rooted in research and extension professionals about the role of science in the construction of the agroecological knowledge.

Title: Desenvolvimento sustentável: uma abordagem baseada em sistemas dissipativos Author: Silva Neto, Benedito Abstract: The article discusses the importance of research results about dissipative systems aiming a proper interpretation of society understood as an evolutionary system. In agreement with this interpretation, it argues that sustainable development should be taken as an open process, whose promotion should include the improvement of systemic properties in societies such as substantial freedom of people and collective intelligence of social groups.
