The Life of Plants, Emanuele Coccia, Polity Press 2019
A contemporary philosophy book about plants is rare and precious.
This one talks about metaphysics, breath, mixture. Plants are major players in the origin of earthly life.
At last we break out of the down to earth and sometimes morbid analysis of a plant’s detail, better to replace it in its entirety, between the sun and the earth, in a multifaceted sky.
A beautiful book that expands our vision of the world, through leaves, roots and flowers, reminding us that our connection with plants is of incredible strength.
