Synchronies and diachronies: a possible angle of environmental psychology in the contemporary context of environmental issues

This article reflects on the naturalistic expansion of biological concepts to social life and its implications for the intensification of the complexity of the concept of environment. This would affect the production of knowledge in the area of Environmental Psychology through methodic obstacles created by it, limiting its full concretization. Finally, it characterizes Environmental Psychology as the scientific study of diachronic and synchronic relations between men and historical-cultural circumstances that condition their existence and are conditioned by them.
