This paper is an exploration on the probable ethical consideration of vegetal beings stemming in empathy.  Empathetic paradigm to vegetal life is conceivable to be in concurrence with the indispensable features of plant ontology. What vegetal life seems to endeavor? The emotive sphere of empathy with vegetal life eclipses their mode of being and projects, the constructs as well as the goals hope or intended by the human empathizer onto the object of empathy.  The disclosure on vegetal life depicts the finitude of empathy, its anthropocentric and probable unethical underpinnings.

           Empathizing with vegetal life is a potentially conceivable reality.  The philosophical viewpoint of this probability declines the uniqueness of vegetal beings and may be regarded as ambassadors of something huge than ourselves i.e., the sacredness of life.  Empathy is exemplified on this elemental commonality.  The substantial congruence of the empathizer and the empathized with, fused by one reality that both are living beings.  The community of living then engenders the intended foundation for the ethical compartment.

            The peculiar ontology of vegetal life must be depicted as an embodied finitude to empathy and is considered resistance to a totalizing vitalism.  Such presupposition depicts a series of impediments to the humanistic, anthropocentric, and narcissistic ethics predicated on the underlying sameness of the ethical action as well as the object of a human action.  This viewpoint is not claiming that vegetal beings indispensably undermines the ethics of empathy.  It is not also proposing that an alternative (non-empathetic, or the eclipse of emotive sphere, and non-rational) ethical paradigm to vegetal life, is unfathomable.  An ethics can stem from vegetal life would decline human self-recognition in and projection onto the sphere of the flora, or more, specifically, would indispensably consider an affirmation of the irreducible distinction between this sphere and that of human’s earthly existence.
