- Kurztext
- With more than 400 billion cups consumed worldwide every year, there is much to discuss philosophically about one of the world's most popular drinks. Essays by journalists, philosophers, coffee insiders, and coffee aficionados offer a penetrating analysis of coffee and its surrounding culture. Featured writers include Mark Pendergrast, coffee expert Kenneth Davids, and the Coffee Bean Guys James Kirkland and Dan Levy. Plus an interview with Matt Lounsbury of Stumptown Coffee. Enjoy the philosophical aroma as the book offers fascinating discussions on topics such as: * The ethics involved in coffee growth * Caffeine as performance-enhancing drug * The centrality of the coffeehouse to the public sphere * Just how good can a cup of coffee be? Coffee Philosophy for Everyone kickstarts the day with an entertaining but critical discussion of the ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and culture of the world of coffee.
