Food and Philosophy Paperback - 2007 - 1st Edition
by Fritz Allhoff (Editor); Dave Monroe (Editor)
"Food & Philosophy" offers a collection of essays which explore a range of philosophical topics related to food. The volume joins "Wine & Philosophy" and "Beer & Philosophy" in the Blackwell Epicurean Trilogy. Essays are organized thematically and written by philosophers, food writers, and professional chefs.
From the rear cover
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.
