Large parts of our world are filled with plants, and human life
depends on, interacts with, affects and is affected by plant life
in various ways. Yet plants have not received nearly as much
attention from philosophers and ethicists as they deserve. In
environmental philosophy, plants are often swiftly subsumed under
the categories of "all living things" and rarely considered
thematically. There is a need for developing a more sophisticated
theoretical understanding of plants and their practical role in
human experience. Plant Ethics: Concepts and Applications aims at
opening a philosophical discussion that may begin to fill that gap.
The book investigates issues in plants ontology, ethics and the
role of plants and their cultivation in various fields of
application. It explores and develops important concepts to shape
and frame plants-related philosophical questions accurately,
including new ideas of how to address moral questions when
confronted with plants in concrete scenarios. This edited volume
brings together for the first time, and in an interdisciplinary
spirit, contemporary approaches to plant ethics by international
scholars of established reputation. It will be of great interest to
students and scholars of Philosophy and Ethics.
