邦訳書『食農倫理学の長い旅：〈食べる〉のどこに倫理はあるのか』で知られる食と農の倫理の第一人者トンプソンの同書刊行後8年の新たな論考5編を収録。食品広告、地域食、食品ラベル、農業汚染物質、持続可能性を俎上に載せる。Paul B. Thompson addresses ethical issues in food ads, local diets, food labelling, agricultural pollutants, and sustainability in five new essays that pick up where his book From Field to Fork left off. Thompson places his examination of the issues into the context of contemporary pragmatism, agrarianism, the philosophy of race, and the relationship between persuasive speech, social control, and open-ended ethical inquiry.
