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 <i>The Ethnic Restaurateur</i> David M. Kaplan has thought deeply about food, and Food Philosophy has countless interesting and instructive observations, theories, and insights about food and eating. It is full of gems that I want to draw on in my own work. -- Anne Barnhill, coeditor of <i>The Oxford Handbook of Food Ethics</i> Kaplan's excellent book integrates issues of food and eating with philosophy, enlivening the field and deepening the ways we should think and theorize about food. He blends insightful analysis with empirical studies, bringing together much of the literature on food into a seamless study that is original, thought-provoking, and readable. -- Carolyn Korsmeyer, author of <i>Things: In Touch with the Past</i>
