Plants Have Feelings: The First Person Who Said It


Listen Later

For this episode, I want to take you back in time to the very first recorded moment someone used the phrase “plants have feelings” – or a version of that - as an argument against animal sentience. Not on Reddit, not on Twitter — we’re talking the year 1391, in the late Middle Ages. And the person who said it wasn’t some random guy in a tavern. It was a Byzantine emperor, using this line of reasoning in a debate with an Imam.
