Description

??This book explores the philosophical thought and praxis of Paul B.�Thompson, who planted some of the first seeds of philosophy of agriculture and�whose work inspires interdisciplinary scholarship in food ethics, biotechnology,�and environmental philosophy. Landmark texts such as The Spirit of the Soil, The�Agrarian Vision, and From Field to Fork revealed the fertility of food systems for�inspiring reflection on our relationships to technology, the land, and one another.�Rooted in philosophical traditions ranging from pragmatism to�post-phenomenology, Thompson�s work nourishes projects in ethics,�epistemology, philosophy of science, and social and political theory, not only in�academic philosophy departments but also in the social and natural sciences. This�volume collects this diversity of thought in a tour of the many fields of food�systems; from theorizing the sustainability of agroecological systems, to�appreciating the quotidian practice of agrarian communities, to anticipating the�impacts of emerging biotechnology, and to savoring the roles that food plays in�forming our identities. Composed by an international crop of scholars working on�the future of food ethics, the volume is a vital contribution to scholars and�practitioners thinking through our relationships to the food systems that sustain�us.Typham this is the title: Paul B.
