Abstract

This book provides a detailed overview of philosophical ramifications of the emerging area of plant behavior. It is also a response to some of the main criticisms of this heterogeneous discipline. This volume is both a practical guide for those new to the subject, providing a historical reconstruction of the development of the topics, while at the same time an opportunity to allow for discussion at a more advanced level. It is not a demonstrative text, but rich in insights to guide future theoretical and practical research. This monograph appeals to interdisciplinary researchers and students working within the spectrum of life sciences to academic philosophy.
