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. Gaia describes a living Earth: a body in the form of a planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFusing science, mathematics, philosophy, ecology and mythology, Gaia and Philosophy, with a new introduction by Dorion Sagan, challenges Western anthropocentrism to propose a symbiotic planet. In its striking philosophical conclusion, the revolutionary Gaia paradigm holds important implications not only for understanding life's past but for shaping its future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynn Margulis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65544609825117,"sku":"9781739371760","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9781739371760.jpg?v=1786451131","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9781739371760","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
