Sumario:In view of the proximity of the XXI Century and the Third Millennium, this paper seeks to reflect upon new horizons that can change the ideas of society, particularly those involved in the academic activity of social sciences in order for them to be able to face the challenge of changing the epistemological concepts that underline the above mentioned conceptual scheme of thought, substituting it for a new biosocial paradigm. In other words, it tries to define a set of concepts that includes environmental values where there is a respectful and tolerant relationship between individuals and with their biophysical environment. Otherwise, current lifestyles and forms of development could increase pollution and environmental degradation, leading to an irreversible process that would deteriorate the ecosphere, placing the survival of some biotic species, including humans, in danger, and eventually the death of the ecosystem.
