In view of Engelsian Marxism, the relationship between man and nature is elucidated by the concept of sociometabolism, which expresses the real metabolic interaction between humankind and its natural environment, which occurs through the primary teleological setting of work and is also mediated by secondary teleological posts, which are the praxis founded by human vital activity, citing education as an example, whose contours vary historically. That said, the objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between social metabolism, capitalist system and education in the current context, in the light of Marxism. The methodological aspects of the investigation in question characterize it as a study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, of the theoretical-bibliographical type, supported by some of the works of Marx and Engels, and by contemporary intellectuals who focus on the theme “man-nature”; as well as the investigation made use of the scientific methodology of documentary research, in order to examine the main international environmental conferences and their documentary texts, which demonstrate supposed concern with the dynamics of destruction of life on Earth. After the investigation, we consider that the hypothesis that can be suggested is that a real subsumption has been established, although not total, of the social metabolism man-nature to the social relations of capitalist production, in the form of a serious metabolic failure and without possibility of retroact in its most deleterious effects, which worsens in the face of the crisis of the system (therefore, there can only be reconciliation between humankind and the natural environment through the suppression of capital), and which has in education an important strategy of this process – hence the urge to include it in the debate.
