The Wine of Philosophy: The Philosophical Walks of Bacchus (French Edition) by Grégory Darbadie

What is the wine of philosophy ? Here is the central question that guides Grégory Darbadie in this essay as captivating as it is original. Between conceptual reflection and sensible experience, this book offers a genuine Philosophical walk in the company of Bacchus, mythological figure of wine and intoxication.

From the very first pages, the author warns us against false dilemmas: the wine is neither Simple concept nor simple drink, but a double object, both idea and reality, , Abstraction and incarnation. This tension between the body and the mind, between the tangible flavor and the Intellectual representation, is at the heart of the wine-tasting experience.

In clear and inspiring language, Darbadie summons the major philosophical movements - of Socrates to Montaigne, of Nietzsche to Merleau-Ponty – to question our relationship to taste, education, cultural anchoring, but also to our desire to understand the world through the very act of tasting.

This is a call for a embodied philosophy, , Carnal and organic, which is nourished by experience and perception, and not by an abstraction detached from reality. From this perspective, wine becomes a preferred mediator between oneself, others, and the world.

The wine of philosophy is therefore not just a book about wine, but a work about who we are in relation to this beverage, and about what this beverage reveals our humanity.

Far from being an academic treatise, this book reads like a intellectual wandering, punctuated by doubts, questions, and paths open to meditation. It is part of a tradition both Rabelaisian and phenomenological, where pleasure is never separated from thought.

To be read with a glass in hand and an open mind.
