Coffee, A Philosophy: In Conversation with Matthew Green

Julian Baggini has long been fascinated by the philosophical underpinnings of how we eat and drink, and the chance discovery in Tokyo of a copy of The Book of Tea by Kakuza Okakura (published in 1906) led him on a journey to explore our relationship with coffee. His latest book on coffee is something ultimately enriching and life affirming, an elevation of the everyday and a pleasure to read – a treatise on how we can infuse the seemingly mundane with moments of mindful attention and meaning.

The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Your ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine and a sample of historic seventeenth-century style coffee.
