Reading The Physiology of Taste | Alexandria
Read The Physiology of Taste by Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. Revealing how taste shapes consciousness, this revolutionary 1825 text transcends mere gastronomy to explore the profound link between what we eat and who we become. Brillat-Savarin daringly argued that sensory pleasure leads to moral virtue - a radical notion that challenges modern shame around appetite and suggests mindful eating brings wisdom.
