Produktbeschreibung
Eating is the most widespread daily practice in life. It takes place every day, three times a day, from birth to death.

When searching for "philosophies of eating" the response of the texts is both silence and denial. However, there is a counterpoint: the philosophy of all times has been expressed through food metaphors--even cannibals--this is part of both its themes and its deepest methodology. From the most empirical uses to the most transcendental - such as the one that contains the idea that we are what we eat - eating has become an existential operation for philosophy, as important as thinking.
