Insightful and zesty, this engaging volume encourages readers to
sample essays that appeal to their philosophical tastes. Organized
thematically like an a 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.
