I Eat, Therefore I Think: Food and Philosophy breaks new ground by introducing philosophy via an activity central to life: eating. Taking seriously the original meaning of philosophy as love of wisdom it explains how the search for wisdom can best succeed by addressing, not just mind, as traditional philosophy has done, but the entire human being. Eating, an inclusive activity that integrates physiological, social, cultural, ethical and aesthetic dimensions, offers an opportunity to re-think fundamental philosophical orientations. Such orientations, embodied in common sense, are built around a disembodied model that identifies humans with mind. By adding the stomach to the mix, this book sketches out radical shifts in our understanding of ethics, social philosophy, theory of reality (metaphysics), religion and aesthetics. In this way, it traces the outlines for a philosophy fitting for our time. It is suitable for people drawn to the topic of food, to those interested in learning about philosophy, and to those who are already well-versed in either food studies or philosophy.
