What Narcissus Saw

The Oceanic “I” / “Eye”

1988

This modern take on the Narcissus myth challenges human exceptionalism. Dorion Sagan suggests we’re entranced by our reflection, blind to our integration within Earth’s biosphere. Through Gaia theory, he urges recognition of life as an interconnected system, promoting ecological consciousness and environmental harmony.
