Much of his philosophical work has focused on building philosophies that take into account plants as beings with their own form of
subjectivity , which has included showing how the field of philosophy, especially the tradition of
continental philosophy , has neglected plants or treated them as "
other ", and how the field has been poorer for it.
[11] Dominic Pettman found Marder's book Plant-Thinking to be a work that made a substantial contribution to that nascent field, but also at times too simplistic, for example idealizing the ways that plants co-exist with other beings and not taking into account the ways that plants attack and defend against other beings.
