What role does food play in the shaping of humanity? Is sharing a
good meal with friends and family an experience of life at its
best, or is food merely a burdensome necessity? David Roochnik
explores these questions by discussing classical works of Greek
literature and philosophy in which food and drink play an important
role. With thoughts on Homer's The Odyssey, Euripides' Bacchae,
Plato's philosopher kings and Dionysian intoxication, Roochnik
shows how foregrounding food in philosophy can open up new ways of
understanding these thinkers and their approaches to the purpose
and meaning of life. The book features philosophical explanation
interspersed with reflections from the author on cooking, eating,
drinking and sharing meals, making it important reading for
students of philosophy, classical studies, and food studies.
