This book explores food from a philosophical perspective, bringing
together sixteen leading philosophers to consider the most basic
questions about food: What is it exactly? What should we eat? How
do we know it is safe? How should food be distributed? What is good
food? David M. Kaplan's erudite and informative introduction
grounds the discussion, showing how philosophers since Plato have
taken up questions about food, diet, agriculture, and animals.
However, until recently, few have considered food a standard
subject for serious philosophical debate. Each of the essays in
this book brings in-depth analysis to many contemporary debates in
food studies - Slow Food, sustainability, food safety, and politics
- and addresses such issues as "happy meat", aquaculture, veganism,
and table manners. The result is an extraordinary resource that
guides readers to think more clearly and responsibly about what we
consume and how we provide for ourselves, and illuminates the
reasons why we act as we do.
