Gaia and Philosophy

The book explores the Gaia theory, developed by Lynn Margulis and James Lovelock in the 1970s, which presents Earth as a living organism. It integrates various disciplines such as science, mathematics, philosophy, ecology, and mythology to challenge the Western view of human superiority over nature. The text advocates for a symbiotic relationship with the planet, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life forms. A new introduction by Dorion Sagan further enriches this thought-provoking discourse.
