Food for Thought: Philosophy in the Kitchen
Stream episodes here
In Food for Thought we dive beneath the surface of our conventional way of thinking. Taking dialogue as a starting point, we challenge each other to try on different views, and broaden our perspectives.
7 young adults and 7 philosophers engage each other in a kitchen conversation. The philosophers are expert thinkers in various global thought traditions: from Chinese Daoism to African Ubuntu. What better place to look for answers to crucial life questions than age-old thought traditions from across the globe?
To cope with today's ever-changing world, we need to find different ways to think, and to be. As food is simply the best way to connect, we cook together while reflecting, reframing, and rethinking. We bring philosophy out of academia and onto the kitchen table. We work together, apply abstract concepts in practice, and taste new flavours and ideas.
How do we want to live, how can we better connect to each other, and what can we do to change the state of the world? Let's find out together!
