Abstract

Abstract The Gaia hypothesis is often used as the basis for demonstrating environmental integrity in current arguments within the field of ecological philosophy. However, when citing the Gaia hypothesis, people are often vague when defining its connotations and extensions. By analysing the controversies surrounding the Gaia hypothesis, we can achieve an appropriate conception of its ontology, including the blindness of the strong theoretical approach and the rationality of the weak one. Gaia's naturalistic epistemology, holistic methodology and systematic values can thus be discriminated. Gaia has strong significance for allowing human beings to understand the Earth's ecological environment and is an effective ecological holistic theory.

分析盖亚假说的合理性

在当前生态哲学领域的争论中，盖亚假设经常被用作证明环境完整性的基础。然而，在引用盖亚假说时，人们往往在定义其内涵和外延时含糊不清。通过分析围绕盖亚假说的争议，我们可以对盖亚假说的本体论有一个恰当的认识，包括强理论方法的盲目性和弱理论方法的合理性。由此可以看出盖亚的自然主义认识论、整体方法论和系统价值观。盖亚理论对于人类认识地球生态环境具有很强的意义，是一种有效的生态整体理论。

期刊介绍： Systems Research and Behavioral Science publishes original articles on new theories, experimental research, and applications relating to all levels of living and non-living systems. Its scope is comprehensive, dealing with systems approaches to: the redesign of organisational and societal structures; the management of administrative and business processes; problems of change management; the implementation of procedures to increase the quality of work and life; the resolution of clashes of norms and values; social cognitive processes; modelling; the introduction of new scientific results, etc. The editors especially want manuscripts of a theoretical or empirical nature which have broad interdisciplinary implications not found in a journal devoted to a single discipline.
