Philosophers at Table - Boisvert Raymond
When you boil it down, one of the most important things we do each day is eat. In fact, as Raymond D. The question of eating--what, and how--may seem simple at first, but it is dense with complex meanings, reflecting myriad roles that food plays and has played over the centuries.
Philosophers at Table explores the philosophical scaffolding that supports this crucial aspect of everyday life, showing that we are not just creatures with minds, but also with stomachs.Examining a cornucopia of literary works, myths, histories, and film--not to mention philosophical ideas--the authors make the case for a bona fide philosophy of food. Boisvert and Lisa Heldke show in this book, it's difficult to imagine a more philosophically charged act than eating. They look at Babette's Feast as an argument for hospitality as a central ethical virtue.
