An impassioned plea for a radical reorientation of our attitude towards plants
Check out this Planta Sapiens book review by Uziel Awret:
Planta Sapiens by Paco Calvo and Natalie Lawrence is an impassioned but reasoned plea for a radical reorientation of our attitude towards plants that accounts for their ‘inner world’ (Umwelt) with its peculiar ‘phenomenology’ and ‘psychology’. To do that the book appeals to both current research on plant electrophysiology and current ‘scientific theories of consciousness’, concluding that we have good reasons to believe plants possess consciousness and that we need to ‘open our minds’ to this possibility. Hence ‘Sapiens’ in the provocative title.
