I was really hoping for more information about what’s been found, but I think the point of this book is that there hasn’t been enough study in this field. So what I got instead was a defense of the idea of plant intelligence, an exhortation to study it. I bought the book, so no need to defend the idea at such length. What studies were cited were interesting though! Just sparsely populated.
We need to think of plants as cognitive beings. This may change perspective for vegans but also for all consumers of plant products (edible and material).

I found this book to be very interesting! It was a unique perspective and provided a deeper appreciation for all of my houseplants. As someone who was a vegetarian for years for ethical reasons, this unlocked a bunch other ethical debates for me to ruminate on - definitely going to have me rethink my relationship with my plants too.

A mix of philosophy, science, and history exploring plant intelligence and why some people are resistant to considering plant sentience.
I feel like most of this book went over my head, but it made for great before-sleep reading over the past few weeks.
