{"product_id":"vegetal-sex-stella-sandford-9781350274921","title":"Vegetal Sex: Philosophy of Plants","description":"This book introduces the reader to the exciting new field of plant philosophy and takes it in a new direction to ask: what does it mean to say that plants are sexed? Do 'male' and 'female' really mean the same when applied to humans, trees, fungi and algae? Are the zoological categories of sex really adequate for understanding the - uniquely 'dibiontic' - life cycle of plants?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVegetal Sex\u003c\/i\u003eaddresses these questions through a detailed analysis of major moments in the history of plant sex, from Aristotle to the modern day. Tracing the transformations in the analogy between animals and plants that characterize this history, it shows how the analogy still functions in contemporary botany and asks: what would a non-zoocentric, plant-centred philosophy of vegetal sex be like?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy showing how philosophy and botany have been and still are inextricably entwined, \u003ci\u003eVegetal Sex\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to think vegetal being and, perhaps, to recognize the vegetal in us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella Sandford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350274925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350274921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023","brand":"Stella Sandford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127885230335,"sku":"9781350274921","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_512e9ffe-7502-4f82-bc3a-f2979063b8f1.jpg?v=1687455791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vegetal-sex-stella-sandford-9781350274921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
