The existence of an unprecedented environmental crisis in the history of mankind has led to many reflections on how states should incorporate the environmental preservation, in order to prevent or minimize its effects. From discussions in Germany, it comes Klaus Bosselmann’s contribution, which advocates the need to overcome the anthropocentrism as the only possible condition for the formulation of a really sustainable alternative of political and social organization. On that basis, and taking into account its political, legal and economic implications, the author elaborates the model of the Ecological State. The objective of this study is to introduce this author´s ecocentrist thinking, aiming at the feasibility of building a dialogue that allows new horizons for overcoming the ecological crisis that has been established. Regarding methodology, we used a qualitative, theoretical, comparative, bibliographical, documental, explanatory and transdisciplinary approach, and dialectical methodology with inductive predominance. We analysed national and foreign doctrine that have fled the anthropocentric route.
