English

Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

Gaian Systems follows the thread of Gaia discourse centered on James Lovelock’s and Lynn Margulis’s Gaia writings, giving special attention to Margulis’s contributions. It unfolds a new post-disciplinary history of Gaia: the systems counterculture nurtured by the Whole Earth Catalog champions the Gaia hypothesis and deepens Gaia theory in ways that still provide a foundational set of conceptual leads for Gaian thought. Three unique features: A sharp focus on the science of Lynn Margulis in the context of her seminal collaboration with James Lovelock on the development of the Gaia concept; An original critical discussion of Gaia theory’s intersections with neocybernetic systems theory; An exclusive look at multiple items of Margulis’s unpublished Gaia correspondence.
