Download or read book The Aesthetics of Food written by Kevin W. Sweeney and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aesthetics of Food sets out the continuing philosophical debate about the aesthetic nature of food. The debate begins with Plato’s claim that only objects of sight and hearing could be beautiful; consequently, food as something we smell and taste could not be beautiful. Plato’s sceptical position has been both supported and opposed in one form or another throughout the ages. This book demonstrates how the current debate has evolved and critically assesses that debate, showing how it has been influenced by the changing nature of critical theory and changes in art historical paradigms (Expressionism, Modernism, and Post-modernism), as well as by recent advances in neuroscience. It also traces changes in our understanding of the sensory experience of food and drink, from viewing taste as a simple single sense to current views on its complex multi-sensory nature. Particular attention is paid to recent philosophical discussion about wine: whether an interest in a wine reflects only a subjective or personal preference or whether one can make objective judgments about the quality and merit of a wine. Finally, the book explores how the debate has been informed by changes in the cooking, presenting, and consuming of food, for example by the appearance of the restaurant in the early nineteenth century as well as the rise of celebrity chefs.
Download or read book The Intercourse of Troubled Thoughts written by Joseph Emeka Anumbor and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a direct offspring of the schism in the Worldwide Anglican Communion concerning its traditional and future identity, which came apart in 2003 over the election of V. Gene Robinson, a practicing gay priest as the Bishop of New Hampshire, United States. When 62 out of 107 leaders of the Episcopal Church {US Anglicans} confirmed his ordination at its triennial conference later that year, the ice that held "God's frozen people" together for so long began to thaw. For the 38 provinces of World Anglicanism, it's been a sloppy and loud reversal of communion since its February 10-15, 1997 "Second Anglican Encounter in the South", at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The prophetic theme of that meeting; "The Place of Scripture in the Life and Mission of the Church in the 21st Century", has been challenged by theologically "enlightened" American, British and Canadian Councils. Revisionist ministers and methods then began to dictate the life and mission of these dioceses.
