Description

The Taste Culture Reader: Experiencing Food and Drink Taste is a deeply evocative sense that plays a vital role in our experiences of food and drink. Yet, despite its significance, it is often overlooked in discussions about eating and drinking. This comprehensive reader brings together a diverse range of perspectives on the sensuous dimensions of food and drink, highlighting the importance of taste in human experience. Featuring excerpts from influential thinkers such as David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and M.F.K. Fisher, as well as original essays by leading scholars, this edition has been revised to include the latest scholarship on the senses. With new introductions from the editor and 10 new chapters, The Taste Culture Reader is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of taste, including students of food studies, anthropology, sensory studies, philosophy, and culinary arts.
