This book isn't just about the history of philosophy. It's about gastrosophy: the philosophy of pleasure, the science of good taste, and the attitudes of famous philosophers toward food. Did you know that eating beans was considered a grave sin for the Pythagoreans? Or that medieval Christians would throw a pig into a river and then fish it out a few meters downstream? This made it suitable for Lent. And if Marx were making a burger, what would it be? Philosopher Eduardo Infante and literary scholar Cristina Macia have collected philosophical anecdotes and jokes, as well as recipes that ancient philosophers might have used, and invite you on a fascinating culinary journey through the pages of history.
