Die Wurzeln der Welt

The first modern philosophy of plants. Plants form the foundation of our existence; they create our habitat and our world from matter, air, and sunlight. Yet for modern philosophy, flora remains a blind spot, with humans at its center. Emanuele Coccia makes a radical shift in perspective: he questions outdated thought patterns, fosters an awareness of the fascinating beauty of plants, and demonstrates their fundamental importance for our lives. In light of the climate crisis and species extinction, he provides important insights for a new relationship between humans and nature.
