Dispersion

Plants are silent still or move slowly; we do not have the sense that they accompany us or even perceive us. But is there something that plants are telling us? Is there something about how they live and connect how they relate to the world and other plants that can teach us about ecological thinking about ethics and politics? <br/> <br/>Grounded in Thoreau's ecology and in contemporary plant studies <i>Dispersion</i>: <i>Thoreau and Vegetal Thought</i> offers answers to those questions by pondering such concepts as co-dependence the continuity of life forms relationality cohabitation porousness fragility the openness of beings to incessant modification by other beings and phenomena patience waiting slowness and receptivity.
