Description
The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture by Emanuele Coccia Plants are often overlooked, yet they play a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. They produce the atmosphere that surrounds us and are the origin of the oxygen that animates us. In this thought-provoking book, Emanuele Coccia argues that plants are the fundamental starting point from which to understand the nature of life. By examining the role of plants in creating and sustaining life, Coccia reveals a radical new perspective on the interconnectedness of all living things. He shows how life is inextricably linked to the consumption and exchange of energy and resources, challenging traditional views of the world as a collection of separate objects. This book offers a fresh and original approach to understanding the place of humanity within the natural world.
