When Galileo pointed the telescope to the sky in 1609, he found mountains on the surface of the moon, turning it into another Earth, and turning the Earth into another planetary body, like any other, irretrievably disturbing, in this way, not only the cosmic order, but the socio-political order of the time.

Four centuries later, the role and position of our planet is once again shaken by the new sciences that reveal the way in which humans make it behave in unexpected ways. If Galileo taught us that the Earth moves, James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis discovered a dynamic and self-regulated Gaia. And once more, the entire societal order is questioned.
