Ever since Dipesh Chakrabarty opened a Pandora’s box on the definition of humanity during the Anthropocene, the question of establishing a new continuity between the domain of necessity (nature) and the domain of freedom (society) has been raised. In this paper we claim that freedom, understood as the capacity to obey one’s own laws—that is, autonomy—could offer a common ground for ecological politics, on the condition of revising some of the commonly held views of what the concept of Gaia consists of. To do so, we wish to look in a new way at Gaia as James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis have proposed it, thanks to research done in natural and social science since the inception of this concept.

扩展自由领域，或者为什么盖亚如此难以理解

自从 Dipesh Chakrabarty 在人类世期间打开了关于人类定义的潘多拉魔盒，在必然性领域（自然）和自由领域（社会）之间建立新的连续性的问题就被提出了。在这篇论文中，我们声称自由，被理解为遵守自己的法律的能力——即自治——可以为生态政治提供一个共同的基础，条件是修改一些关于盖亚概念的普遍看法。的。为此，我们希望以詹姆斯·洛夫洛克 (James Lovelock) 和林恩·马古利斯 (Lynn Margulis) 提出的新方式看待盖亚，这要归功于自该概念出现以来在自然科学和社会科学方面的研究。
