Ars Erotica and Ars Gastronomica in Shusterman's Somaesthetics

This paper explores the roles of the erotic and gastronomic arts in Richard Shusterman's somaesthetics. By discussing the relationship between moral education and the cultivation of gustatory taste in classical Chinese philosophy, this paper suggests future avenues of research for somaesthetics that draw on the rich tradition of thinking about food and the body in Chinese philosophy.
