Having stepped “beyond” physics, the venerable metaphysical tradition of philosophy continued to feed on its natural basis, regularly turning to plant metaphors and allegories, but leaving them on the periphery of its attention and thereby “devaluing, instrumentalizing and making banal” life itself. Michael Marder decides to deconstruct this almost unconscious habit of philosophers from Antiquity to modern times, revealing the plant philosophy hidden in the shadow of mainstream thought, which literally sprouts in the works of twelve famous philosophers from Plato to Luce Irigaray. Maimonides’ palm, Hegel’s grapes, Derrida’s sunflowers and other “philosophers’ plants” show themselves to be not just a herbarium “dried in books”, a sentimental addition, but an important aspect even of those philosophical systems whose path to intellectual and spiritual heights lay through ecocide.
