Gaia and philosophy

In the 1970s, microbiologist Lynn Margulis and atmospheric chemist James Lovelock developed the Gaia theory. Embracing the circular logic of life and engineering systems, the Gaia theory states that Earth is a self-regulating complex system in which life interacts with and eventually becomes its own environment.
Fusing science, mathematics, philosophy, ecology and mythology, Gaia and Philosophy, challenges Western anthropocentrism to propose a symbiotic planet.
