Description: This book is an introduction to the philosophical dimensions of food. David M. Kaplan shows how the different branches of philosophy contribute to a broader understanding of food and emphasizes how different narratives help us navigate the complex world of food.
Review Quotes: This is exactly the book I have been waiting for as a sociologist interested in philosophical questions opened up by food in our times. It is an inviting introduction to central questions of ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology for philosophers, social scientists, and humanists.--Krishnendu Ray, author of The Ethnic Restaurateur
