In this paper, I reflect on the theoretical interconnection between different ontological interpretations of sustainability by exploring the possibility of establishing a meta-ontology of sustainability. I try to shape the fundamental features of such meta-ontology, assuming an educational perspective. More precisely, I consider which theoretical preconditions the education to sustainability should satisfy to be effective, by focusing on the development of a “transdisciplinary” epistemology and the achievement of an “integral ecology” as essential aspects of a meta-ontology of sustainability.

Abstract
In this paper, I reflect on the theoretical interconnection between different ontological interpretations of sustainability by exploring the possibility of establishing a meta-ontology of sustainability. I try to shape the fundamental features of such meta-ontology, assuming an educational perspective. More precisely, I consider which theoretical preconditions the education to sustainability should satisfy to be effective, by focusing on the development of a “transdisciplinary” epistemology and the achievement of an “integral ecology” as essential aspects of a meta-ontology of sustainability.
