Taste as Experience: The Philosophy and Aesthetics of Food (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History) - Nicola Perullo 2016

Notes

INTRODUCTION

1. [Note for the English translation: I play with certain subtleties of the Italian language. In Italian, the verb to taste can also be reflexive, reflecting the experience back onto the subject. Hence “taste is tasted.” In addition, the verb’s etymology is related to saggio, “a written essay,” intended as a direct exploration of a subject. Understanding taste in its content of experience signifies understanding it in its radical sense, including its complex and procedural factors.]

SECOND MODE OF ACCESS: KNOWLEDGE
