In some versions, he is killed by Artemis, while in others he is killed by a scorpion sent by Gaia.

Ecological theory has also been used to explain self-emergent regulatory phenomena at the planetary scale: for example, the Gaia hypothesis is an example of holism applied in ecological theory.

The Gaia hypothesis states that there is an emergent feedback loop generated by the metabolism of living organisms that maintains the temperature of the Earth and atmospheric conditions within a narrow self-regulating range of tolerance.

Gaia philosophy ( named after Gaia, Greek goddess of the Earth ) is a broadly inclusive term for related concepts that living organisms on a planet will affect the nature of their environment in order to make the environment more suitable for life.

According to James Kirchner there is a spectrum of Gaia hypotheses, ranging from the undeniable to radical.

An even stronger claim is that all lifeforms are part of a single planetary being, called Gaia.

The most extreme form of Gaia theory is that the entire Earth is a single unified organism ; in this view the Earth's biosphere is consciously manipulating the climate in order to make conditions more conducive to life.

The more speculative versions of Gaia, including versions in which it is believed that the Earth is actually conscious, sentient, and highly intelligent, are usually considered outside the bounds of what is usually considered science.

Her version is sometimes called the " Gaia Theory " ( note uppercase-T ).

The Gaia hypothesis is sometimes viewed from significantly different philosophical perspectives.

A social science view of Gaia theory is the role of humans as a keystone species who may be able to accomplish global homeostasis.

Whilst a few social scientists who draw inspiration from ' organic ' views of society have embraced Gaia philosophy as a way to explain the human-nature interconnections, most professional social scientists are more involved in reflecting upon the way Gaia philosophy is used and engaged with within sub-sections of society.

Tony Bondhus brings up the point in his book, Society of Conceivia, that if Gaia is alive, then societies are living things as well.

Anne Primavesi is an ecologist and theologian she is the author of two books dealing with the Gaia hypothesis and theology.

Many new age authors have written books which mix New Age teachings with Gaia philosophy this is known as New Age Gaian.

More speculative versions of Gaia, including all versions in which it is held that the Earth is actually conscious, are currently held to be outside the bounds of science, and are not supported by either Lovelock or Margulis.

The Lifestream is also similar to the Gaia Theory depicted in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, in which all living things ( plants, animals, and human beings ) are bestowed energy by the spirit of the Planet prior to birth.

On Sayshell, Trevize and Pelorat meet Professor Quintesetz, who is able to give them the co-ordinates to the mysterious planet known as Gaia.

Throughout the fourth book Gaia is actively trying to track him down, as he was a mysterious but famous serial killer who's had many victims in different states.

Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman Agul return to fight a new enemy, along with help from mysterious undersea creatures.

The Gaia hypothesis deals with the concept of homeostasis, and claims the resident life forms of a host planet coupled with their environment have acted and act as a single, self-regulating system.

Computer game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and its expansion Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire are set on the planet Chiron in the Alpha Centauri system where all indigenous life appears to behave in accordance with the Gaia philosophy.

He is best known for proposing the Gaia hypothesis, which postulates that the biosphere is a self-regulating entity with the capacity to keep our planet healthy by controlling the chemical and physical environment.

Such views have also led many pagans to revere the planet Earth as Mother Earth, who is often referred to as Gaia after the ancient Greek goddess of the Earth.

** an adherent of Gaianism — an Earth-centered ( sometimes referred to as neo-Pagan ) spiritual inclination with diverse and evolving religious expression whose central reference is Gaia as personification of the Earth as Mother to all life upon the planet.

The table mentions a planet called Gaia which Pelorat discovered, previously, to mean Earth.

Councilman Golan Trevize, historian Janov Pelorat, and Blissenobiarella of the planet Gaia ( all of whom were introduced in Foundation's Edge ) set out on a journey to find humanity's ancestral planet — Earth.

Using the few scraps of reliable information within the various myths, Trevize and Pelorat discover a planet called Gaia, which is inhabited solely by Mentalics, to such an extent that every organism and inanimate object on the planet shares a common mind.

After Trevize makes his decision, the intellect of Gaia adjusts Branno's mind so that she believes she has become victorious and conquered the planet ( but that she will also continue to leave it alone ) and Gendibal is sent back to the Second Foundation under the impression that the Second Foundation is victorious and should continue as normal.

Gaia is the planet with collective intelligence in the Foundation novels which adopts a law similar to the First Law, and the Zeroth Law, as its philosophy:

* Gaia — The first planet of the star Betelgeuse, inhabited by the Syreen people in the Star Control computer game series.

This category might include James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis ; the theory that the planet earth alters its geo-physiological structure over time in order to ensure the continuation of an equilibrium of evolving organic and inorganic matter.

) Key concepts include what would come to be known as the Gaia hypothesis, pantheism, and a Christlike " world leader " living on the planet " Altair " ( or " Stellair "), who radiates spiritual guidance by means of telepathy.

It is stated in Sonic Unleashed that the planet has been in an endless cycle of destruction and resurrection since time immemorial: a monster known as Dark Gaia hibernates within the Earth's core, absorbing power from the negative energies and emotions of humanity, and destroys the planet when it emerges, and its counterpart, Light Gaia ( a. k. a. " Chip "), defeats it and restores the Earth.

In the game's plot, Doctor Eggman, hoping to use Dark Gaia's power to build his empire, breaks the planet open himself and awakens both Light and Dark Gaia ahead of schedule ; as a result, Dark Gaia's body splits apart, and Light Gaia develops severe amnesia.

Gaia is a fictional planet described in the book Foundation's Edge ( 1982 ) and referred to in Foundation and Earth ( 1986 ), by Isaac Asimov.

It is eventually discovered that the bacterial life on Erythro forms a collective organism that possesses a form of consciousness and telepathy ( a concept similar to the Gaia of Asimov's Foundation series ).

Some refer to this political activity as a separate and radical branch of the ecology movement, one that takes the axioms of the science of ecology in general, and Gaia theory in particular, and raises them to a kind of theory of personal conduct or moral code.

The New Age movement includes elements of older spiritual and religious traditions ranging from atheism and monotheism through classical pantheism, naturalistic pantheism, pandeism, panentheism, and polytheism combined with science and Gaia philosophy ; particularly archaeoastronomy, astronomy, ecology, environmentalism, the Gaia hypothesis, psychology and physics.

By the time of the 2nd Chapman Conference on the Gaia Hypothesis, held at Valencia, Spain, on 23 June 2000, the situation had changed significantly in accordance with the developing science of Bio-geophysiology.

This conference approached Gaia Theory as both science and metaphor as a means of understanding how we might begin addressing 21st century issues such as climate change and ongoing environmental destruction.

The modern emergence of this Earth-centered philosophy stems out of the accepted Gaia Theory which conveys the science behind the Earth as an ancient, living and self-regulating system within systems.

It is the fourth ' cornerstone ' mission in the ESA science program, along with Rosetta, Planck, and the Gaia mission.

Foucault then develops a holistic account of power and uses methods not too dissimilar to the astonishing and outstanding Medieval Islamic polymaths scholars Alhazen, Ibn Sīnā, and Ibn Khaldūn and to a lesser extant prominent science figures from 20th century science such as ; Gregory Bateson, James Lovelock ( the founder of Gaia hypothesis ) and Robert N. Proctor ( Proctor who coined the term Agnotology ) and urges us to think outside the box of this new kind of power, therefore, opening up the possibilities of further investigations into this new perceived, impenetrable nature of biopower and according to Foucault he asks us to remember, this type of power is never neutral nor is it independent from the rest of society but are embedded within society functioning as embellished ' control technology ' specifics. Foucault argues ; nation states, police, government, legal practices, human sciences and medical institutions have their own rationale, cause and effects, strategies, technologies, mechanisms and codes and have managed successfully in the past to obscure there workings by hiding behind observation and scrutiny.

The modern emergence of this Earth-centered philosophy stems out of the accepted Gaia Theory which conveys the science behind the Earth as an ancient, living and self-regulating system within systems.
