Produktbeschreibung

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.

The Routledge Handbook of Food Ethics is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over 35 chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into 7 parts:

the phenomenology of foodgender and foodfood and cultural diversityliberty, choice and food policyfood and the environmentfarming and eating other animalsfood justice

Essential reading for students and researchers in food ethics, it is also an invaluable resource for those in related disciplines such as environmental ethics and bioethics.

Rezensionen

"The title "handbook" does not do justice to the fact that this collection of essays deepens current conversations on food ethics, surveying the literature as well as developing original arguments. Chapters not only effectively place popular food writing in conversation with contemporary food studies scholarship, but also draw explicit connections to historical philosophical work. It is an extremely useful resource for the classroom and an instructive guide to all those interested in the topic." Lisa Heldke, Gustavus Adolpho Collage, USA

"This Handbook is an exciting and important intervention to raise concern about the global ethics of food. For the first time, a wide range of perspectives are brought together to establish the importance of situating food in the context of ethics and justice. This is real-world philosophy at its finest" Sridhar Venkatapuram, King's College London, UK

"The ethics of food comprises a variety of issues including health, inequity, animalrights, justice issues, and environmental ethics, presented in this handbook. Combining traditional research with innovative perspectives, the reader sets a new agenda of discussions around the ethics of food. The comprehensive handbook is structured in seven sections comprising 35 chapters. The sections focus on the phenomenology of food; gender and food; food and cultural diversity; liberty, choice, and food policy; food and the environment; farming and the consumption of animals, as well as food justice. Several chapters investigate labelling, ethical consumerism, and policymaking."Journal of Consumer Policy, 02/2020
