The author deconstructs the tradition of describing plants in metaphysical and anthropocentric categories by deploying a set of tropes and strategies from the toolkit of deconstruction and phenomenology. While considering the 'plant-being', he formulates an alternative concept of 'plant-thinking', whose distinctive features are non-identity, voicelessness, non-essentionality and existence outside any symbol system. Conceptualized in these categories the plant not only defies the received discourse of metaphysics but also becomes a stepping stone and a most important figure of post-metaphysical thought.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={“Plant-Thinking”, or a deconstruction of the metaphysical paradigm}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116262/PDF/2019-06-LITR-05-Marder.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2020.133072}, keywords={Philosophy of vegetable life, phenomenology of plants, environmental philosophy, deconstruction, post-metaphysics, Michael Marder, Plant-Thinking (2013)}, }
