Grafting: do we ever do anything other than that? For the philosopher Michael Marder, our reflections on vegetal life have a fundamental importance in how we can reflect on our own conceptions of ethics, politics, and philosophy in general. And are we ever free from vegetal influences when we engage in its operations?
Grafts are transplants either of a shoot inserted into the trunk of another tree or, surgically, of skin (among other living tissues). Taking as his starting point the simple vegetal conception of grafting, Marder guides the reader through his concise and numerous reflections on what could be described as a vegetal philosophy. They are delicate operations intended to preserve, improve, and modify both the grafted materials and the body that receives them.
To graft is to create unlikely encounters, hybrid mixes, and novel surfaces.Moving across disciplinary
