1828

“If only plants could speak. From extraordinary flowers to intricate leaf patterns, we admire their expressivity every day… without once wondering what they can teach us about self-expression. Take the plunge into the silent yet endlessly creative vegetal world, and discover a Nietzsche decidedly less conquering and nihilistic than what we’re used to.”

Disclaimer: This video essay is based on Nietzche’s published writings as well as non-canonical texts (ie his Unpublished Fragments).

Academic works that provided inspiration for this video were notably Vanessa Lemm’s article “What we can learn from Plants about the Creation of Values” and Gary Shapiro’s “Earth’s garden happiness: Nietzsche’s Geoaesthetics of the Anthropocene”, both published in the Nietzsche-Studien and freely accessible here:
