According to Isabelle Stengers, modern eco-logical crisis can be understood as the intrusion of Gaia: “Gaia is ticklish and that is why she must be named as a being. We are no longer deal-ing (only) with a wild and threatening nature, nor with a fragile nature to be protected, nor a nature to be mercilessly exploited. The case is new.”
