The Virtues of the Table

by Julian Baggini

Description

In this thoughtful exploration of food and philosophy, everyday acts of growing, buying, preparing, and sharing meals become opportunities to examine how we live. Moving from allotments and supermarkets to the dinner table, the book considers the ethical, social, and environmental questions behind what we eat—including debates about meat, pleasure, responsibility, and sustainability. With clarity, wit, and intellectual curiosity, it challenges simplistic food rules and invites readers to think more deeply about the values that shape their choices. The result is an accessible and provocative guide to cultivating a more considered relationship with food.
