Plant Thinking

«Plant-thinking» refers, in the same breath, to (1) the non-cognitive, non-ideational, and non-imagistic mode of thinking proper to plants (hence, what I call «thinking without the head»); (2) our thinking about plants; (3) how human thinking is, to some extent, de-humanized and rendered plantlike, altered by its encounter with the vegetal world; and finally, (4) the ongoing symbiotic relation between this transfigured thinking and the existence of plants.
