Resumo

The aim of this article is to discuss the central elements of the propositions that seek to build the Sustainable Development as a model suited to address the contradictions between environmental stress and the satisfaction of the needs of present and future generations. The more general analytical argument is centered on understanding that the Sustainable Development seeks to update the promise – founder of modernity – that the human emancipation relative to satisfying the “reign of necessity” would be achieved through economic and social development, settledupon the progress of science and technology. Taking as a reference the biblical mythology of the construction of the Tower of Babel, the focus of the discussion was directed to the elements which constitute the contradictions that gave way to the updating of that promise of happiness, as well as the limits of the means presented as appropriate to its fulfillment. When reflecting about the promise that moved the building of the mythical Tower of Babel, which seems to also support the building of its contemporary version, one can reflect on how we move inside the construction site that is still in operation.
