Appetites for Thought is a quirky, off-beat take on philosophers and their palates, tracing the food obsessions of philosophers from Diogenes to Sartre. Onfray guides us around the philosophers’ banquet table with erudition, wit, and irreverence, offering his own philosophical riffs on anything from fillet of cod, barley soup and sausages, to wine and coffee.

Appetites for Thought will intrigue, provoke and entertain in equal measure, as well as make you crave a snack.
