Course Contents
The content of this course and the role of philosophy is to tackle the most basic questions about food: What is food exactly? What should we eat? How do we know it is safe? How should food be distributed? What is good food? These are simple yet difficult questions because they involve philosophical questions about metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. Other disciplinary approaches may touch on these questions concerning food but only philosophy addresses them explicitly. Once we have a clear understanding of philosophy's unique role, we will all be in a better position to engage in dialogue aimed at improving our knowledge, practices, and laws.
