The Gaia Theory and Configuration of New Perspectives in Environmental Sciences
Author(s):
Abstract:
Gaia theory has provided scopes for new discussions especially in the context of environmental science identity and philosophy, modeling, and developed studies in the area of climatology in the last two decades. Gaia theory has resulted in the creation of new supporting groups particularly the echo feminist parties. Such parties believe that human being should not manipulate the natural order of the earth. According to this theory, the whole existence is something more than its components and it is not possible to get the knowledge about the whole through each one of the components. Therefore, we should use a whole seeing approach for knowing the entire. This approach that is different from individualistic or existentialistic ones, respects other components of the nature and emphasizes on this point that the interaction between the live structures cannot be done only by material frameworks and factors, but non-materialistic elements also play role. There are two main points being emphasized in this theory, the first one being that the continuation of stability and the survival of the existing environments depend largely on the existence of specified or certain borders and boundaries. And secondly those living organisms that have good interaction with their environment, and their interaction shows a common co living leave a large amount of benefit for the future generations and hence provide higher survival chances.
