Is food the key to what makes us human? And should we spend even more time thinking about it? Julian is a philosopher, author and founder of The Philosophers’ Magazine and Microphilosophy, a website of small thoughts about BIG subjects: from ego tricks to atheism, pigs ‘that want to be eaten’ to those that presumably don’t. His most recent book, ‘The Virtues of the Table’ looks at how we eat, farm and shop and how food choices involve every aspect of our human nature: from the cultural to the creative, the emotional to the intellectual. Julian will take us on an unprocessed journey of philosophical proportions, fit for the fastest and finnikiest of foodies alike.
