SUMMARY:Philosophy Salon
DESCRIPTION:Do we have a duty to rescue? \nIf you passed a child drowning in a pond\, would you have a moral obligation to save them? Most people would say we do. But in 1972 the philosopher Peter Singer argued that if that is true\, we also have a duty to help people far away too. In his new book\, David Edmonds unpicks the argument and its implications. In this informal salon hosted by St George’s Philosopher-in-residence Julian Baggini\, Edmonds will be joined by Bridget Anderson to explore our duties to refugees\, the poor and others at home and abroad.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Salon

SUMMARY:How the World Eats
DESCRIPTION:In this season of celebrations\, all traditionally including significant amounts of feasting and food consumption\, we welcome back Bristol’s philosopher\, Julian Baggini to delve into the timely issue of ‘How the World Eats’. \nHow we live is shaped by how we eat. You can see this in the vastly different approaches to growing\, preparing and eating food around the world: the hunter-gatherer Hadza in Tanzania whose sustainable lifestyle is under threat in our crowded planet is in stark contrast to “developed” societies whose food is produced in vast intensive enterprises. Most of us now rely on a complex global food web of production\, distribution\, consumption and disposal\, which is now facing unprecedented challenges.\nThe need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. Julian’s exploration takes him from cutting-edge technologies\, such as new farming methods\, cultured meat\, GM and astronaut food\, to the ethics and health of ultra processed food and aquaculture\, as he takes a forensic look at the effectiveness of our food governance\, the problem of food wastage and the effects of commodification.\nHe will advocate for a pluralistic\, humane\, resourceful and equitable global food philosophy\, so we can build a food system fit for the twenty-first century and beyond.

SUMMARY:Coffee\, A Philosophy: In Conversation with Matthew Green
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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.
