Academic food ethics incorporates work from philosophy but also anthropology, economics, the environmental sciences and other natural sciences, geography, law, and sociology. Scholars from these fields have been producing work for decades on the food system, and on ethical, social, and policy issues connected to the food system. Yet in the last several years, there has been a notable increase in philosophical work on these issues-work that draws on multiple literatures within practical ethics, normative ethics and political philosophy. This handbook provides a sample of that philosophical work across multiple areas of food ethics: conventional agriculture and alternatives to it; animals; consumption; food justice; food politics; food workers; and, food and identity.
I thoroughly recommend The Oxford Handbook of Food Ethics to all animal ethicists interested in addressing food-related questions in their research or teaching. * Josh Milburn, Between the Species *
The Oxford Handbook of Food Ethics provides an extensive survey of the growing field of food ethics in its most prevalent areas and aims for an audience that encompasses not only advanced undergraduate and graduate students but also the consumer who is interested in learning more about his or her everyday choices. The editors include work that attempts to answer complex ethical questions about food and the individuals, groups, and institutions that are concerned with food. By focusing on philosophical areas such as practical ethics, normative ethics, and political philosophy, Barnhill, Dudolfson, and Doggett offer a comprehensive, informative, and valuable volume on food ethics, its limitations, and its opportunities. * Silke Feltz Metapsychology *
