The idea of the Anthropocene as a new geological Epoch appeared linked to the geoepistemic model of Earth System Science, which emerged in the second half of the 1980s, and was peacefully adopted within the Sustainability Science research community. However, in the field of Political Ecology, its most prominent figures rejected it, in a reaction similar to that of several distinguished scholars of the Humanities, proposing both, in convergence, periodizations and alternative nomenclatures. The objective of this article is, therefore, threefold: to examine how the current of Political Ecology reacted to the joint adhesion of Earth System Science and Sustainability Science to the idea of the Anthropocene; to analyze how academics from the Humanities distanced themselves from this proposal and, alternatively, suggested concepts with a less neutral connotation (eg, “Capitalocene”); critically consider how it is possible to abandon, at the ontological level, the old separation between nature and culture, implicit in the idea of the Anthropocene, while preserving, at the logical level, the indissoluble distinction between the natural and the social .
