“花期”是植物美好生活的一个概念，它由经验和评价两个方面组成。在这篇文章中，我将讨论这一概念，作为重新讨论植物道德地位的起点；因此，我将首先概述在植物学中解释的蓬勃发展的内容。然后，文章在三个问题的背景下探讨了繁荣的评价方面。这些问题是：繁荣的概念如何适用于道德理论？为什么植物应该得到道德上的认可？最后，这种方法在伦理上对植物的影响是什么？对这些问题的探索有助于对植物茁壮成长的能力的道德含义有一个细微的看法。
‘Flourishing’ is a concept of the good life of plants which comprises an empirical and an evaluative aspect. In this article, I shall discuss this concept as a starting point for addressing the moral status of plants anew; I shall therefore first outline the content of flourishing as explained in botany. The article then explores the evaluative aspect of flourishing in the context of three questions. These questions are: how does the concept of flourishing fit into moral theory? Why do plants deserve a moral standing? And finally, what are the consequences of this approach to plants in ethics? The exploration of these questions contributes to a fine-grained perspective on the moral implications of the capacity of plants to flourish.
