Gaia and the New Politics of Love presents an accessible yet powerful political theory: a world where it is safe to love is a world where it is safe to live. Humankind, argues controversial scholar Serena Anderlini-D’Onofrio, is the most influential species in the Gaian web—but also the most destructive. Gaia explores how intimacy and love—including sexual freedom of expression—offer ways to minimize and ultimately eliminate this collective threat to humanity. Only when we link human intimacy with its global ecology will a true holistic health movement develop to heal our personal relationships and our planet.
