Cordwainer from Melville

Beer & Philosophy: The Unexamined Beer Isn't Worth Drinking
Steven D. Hales (Editor), Foreword by Michael C. Jackson

Paperback, 233 pages with index.

2007. Excellent condition

A beer-lovers' book which playfully examines a myriad of philosophical concerns related to beer consumption. Effectively demonstrates how real philosophical issues exist just below the surface of our everyday activities

Divided into four sections:

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

Written for beer-lovers who want to think while they drink.

Price: $10
