Food and philosophy. They seem like natural companions; long dinners leading to longer discussions. But in fact food has seldom been the subject of philosophers. That?s possibly because women mainly produced food in back-kitchens, while men philosophized. The Dutch International School for Philosophy is trying to remedy this situation. The School is committed to introducing people to philosophical discussion - and what better way to do so than over dinner; a so-called "Diner Pensant" which brings together art, poetry and philosophical musings.
