Steven D. Hales (Editor), Foreword by Michael C. Jackson

Paperback, 233 pages with index.

Excellent condition

A beer-lovers' book which playfully examines a myriad of philosophical concerns related to beer consumption.

The Art of the Beer; The Ethics of Beer: Pleasures, Freedom, and Character; The Metaphysics and Epistemology of Beer; and Beer in the History of Philosophy

Uses the context of beer to expose George Berkeley’s views on fermented beverages as a medical cure; to inspect Immanuel Kant’s transcendental idealism through beer goggles, and to sort out Friedrich Nietzsche’s simultaneous praise and condemnation of intoxication
