Beschreibung

Insightful and zesty, this engaging volume encourages readers to sample essays that appeal to their philosophical tastes. Organized thematically like an à la carte menu, the book opens with "Food in Culture & Society," a glimpse at the inherently social and cultural aspects of food, whetting the appetite for what is to follow, including topics such as: Who decides just what constitutes quality cuisine or foul fare. Is food aesthetically important. How are food and sensuality related. Do we have an ethical responsibility to eat organic, free-range, vegetarian, or locally grown foods. In addition to contributions by philosophers, the book also includes a rare collection of essays by culinary professionals and food critics who infuse their passion for food with philosophical flavorings. Another installment in the "Epicurean Trilogy. " (together with Wine & Philosophy. and Beer & Philosophy. ), Food & Philosophy. serves up a healthy helping of timely food-oriented thinking.
