The Atkins Diet and Philosophy

            

            I was actually looking for a car adapter when I came across a book titled “The Atkins Diet and Philosophy Chewing the Fat with Kant and Nietzsche” which caught my eye on Amazon. This book not only talks about how to loose weight but majors philosophers such as Marx, Kant, Rousseau and many others that have a very secure standpoint on some of these related issues. Discussions such as Atkins advertising a negative body image, how it fits into Kant’s perception of the moral life, or theories about a kinder, and gentler human society are talked about. This book will be kind of like how we use “Sophie’s World”. It will be an interesting topic that will intertwine certain, valuable philosophical lessons. The real purpose of this book is to actually un-teach diet in general and turn on the light for some people, and show them that there are things that are more important in life. I am personally kind of interested in the book, just to see how it compares (in regards to the lessons) to “Sophie’s World”
