Gaia and Philosophy is a compact but provocative intervention in the long afterlife of the Gaia hypothesis.

With an introduction by Dorian Sagan, the volume situates James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis’s vision of Earth as a self-regulating system within broader philosophical debates about life, agency, and planetary ethics.

The words here press on Gaia's implications: what does it mean to think of the planet as process rather than backdrop? How does systems theory unsettle human exceptionalism?

Small in size but conceptually dense, this is a book for readers interested in the fault lines between science, ecology, and philosophy—where biology becomes cosmology, and climate becomes ontology.

Perfect to add on the top of a little stack.
