Does a doughnut hole exist? How many grains of rice in a biryani? Can the baker, who only bakes for those who don't bake for themselves, bake for herself? Using food to explore classic philosophical puzzles and paradoxes about how we know, perceive and experience things, and to question the nature of reality, language and truth, this book will get your brain whirring and your stomach rumbling. Suki Finn, a Philosophy Lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London, serves up plenty of philosophical food for thought - enough to whet the appetite of the novice and to satisfy philosophers hungry for a different take on familiar themes. What's in a Doughnut Hole? gives us new ways to think about the world and to understand our place in it.
