Symbiocene

"The Symbiocene, or period of re-integration between humans and the rest of nature, is the second of the master themes used to define Earth emotions. The chapter constructs the idea of the Symbiocene from the latest scientific discoveries made about symbiosis and its centrality in maintaining life. Within this new meme, positive Earth emotions re-emerge as the defining characteristics of what it means to be human within the collective called life. This chapter applies the essence of the Symbiocene to known positive psychoterratic states such as topophilia and biophilia and goes further in promoting the author's new concepts of soliphilia, sumbiophilia, endemophilia and eutierria."
