"While the history of philosophy has traditionally given scant attention to food and the ethics of eating, in the last few decades the subject of food ethics has emerged as a major topic, encompassing a wide array of issues, including labor justice, public health, social inequity, animal rights and environmental ethics. This handbook provides a much needed philosophical analysis of the ethical implications of the need to eat and the role that food plays in social, cultural and political life. Unlike other books on the topic, this text integrates traditional approaches to the subject with cutting edge research in order to set a new agenda for philosophical discussions of food ethics...Comprising over 35 chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into 7 parts: the phenomenology of food; gender and food; food and cultural diversity; liberty, choice and food policy; food and the environment; farming and eating other animals; food justice..."--Page 4 of cover. |
