Description:This article outlines the theoretical contribution of Franz Hinkelammert's thought around the concept of rebellion in the recovery of subjectivity to the deconstruction of instrumental reason and mythical reason imposed by modernity. In his proposal, Hinkelammert places the concept of gnoseological rebellion in a perspective of analysis that allows to articulate the subject as a bearer of ethics for life. Therefore, this perspective provides a theoretical and practical tool so that the subject can halt the destruction of the planet. In this way the subject, as a thinking one, becomes a rebel, in comparison with the acting subject that, by having recourse to the relationship means-end and the calculation of utility, consumes the resources the world gives according to his/her possibilities and ambitions, without realizing that, when devourin those resources, this subject is becoming the author of its own extinction.
