Through Vegetal Being - Two Philosophical Perspectives Two Philosophical Perspectives

"Through Vegetal Being foregrounds the relations that plants enable between humans and other living things, continuing both Michael Marder's work on plant existence and Luce Irigaray's work on sexual difference and the forgetting of the world in the constitution of individual identity. This charming and beautifully written book is a two-person meditation on the philosophy, ontology, and ethics of plant life and our fundamental dependence on it as living beings." - Elizabeth Grosz, Jean Fox O'Barr Women's Studies Professor at Duke University
