Beer & Philosophy: The Unexamined Beer Isn't Worth Drinking

Beer & Philosophy The Unexamined Beer Isnt Worth Drinking, ISBN 9781405154307 and books by Steven D Hales on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz

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 Berkeleys views on fermented beverages as a medical cure; to inspect Immanuel Kants transcendental idealism through beer goggles, and to sort out Friedrich Nietzsches simultaneous praise and condemnation of intoxication
  • Written for beer–lovers who want to think while they drink
