Description for The Taste for Ethics. An Ethic of Food Consumption.
hardcover. This book marks a new departure in ethics, which has up to now been a question of 'the good life' in relation to other people, based on Greek concepts of friendship and the Judaeo-Christian 'caritas.' No early moral teaching discussed man's relation to the origin of foodstuffs and the system that produced them; doubtless the question was of little interest since the production path was so short. Series: The International Library of Environmental, Agricultural and Food Ethics. Num Pages: 231 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 511.
