The Life of Plants
Author : Emanuele Coccia
Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
Page : 183 pages
File Size : 40,1 MB
Release : 2019-01-16
Category : Philosophy
ISBN : 1509531548
Book Description
We barely talk about them and seldom know their names. Philosophy has always overlooked them; even biology considers them as mere decoration on the tree of life. And yet plants give life to the Earth: they produce the atmosphere that surrounds us, they are the origin of the oxygen that animates us. Plants embody the most direct, elementary connection that life can establish with the world. In this highly original book, Emanuele Coccia argues that, as the very creator of atmosphere, plants occupy the fundamental position from which we should analyze all elements of life. From this standpoint, we can no longer perceive the world as a simple collection of objects or as a universal space containing all things, but as the site of a veritable metaphysical mixture. Since our atmosphere is rendered possible through plants alone, life only perpetuates itself through the very circle of consumption undertaken by plants. In other words, life exists only insofar as it consumes other life, removing any moral or ethical considerations from the equation. In contrast to trends of thought that discuss nature and the cosmos in general terms, Coccia’s account brings the infinitely small together with the infinitely big, offering a radical redefinition of the place of humanity within the realm of life.

Plants grow almost everywhere in the world around us-in all sizes and shapes. Some are so small that they can be seen only with a microscope. Others, like the redwood trees of California, tower high in the sky. Plants grow not only in well-watered soil, but in oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps, in deserts, on rocks, far above the ground on branches of trees, on old pieces of wood, even on such unlikely things as crusts of bread, old shoes, or on top of arctic snow. Some strange plants eat insects, and others steal food from their neighbors. The First Book of Plants is a comprehensive introduction to the world of plants, perfect for young learners who are curious about the natural world around them. With clear explanations and beautiful illustrations, readers will learn about the different parts of a plant and their functions, how plants make food, and the importance of plants in our environment. Written by Alice Dickinson, an experienced educator and nature enthusiast, this book is perfect for the young reader interested in exploring the fascinating world of plants.
