Parasitic Personhood and the Ontology of Eating

By Lisa Heldke

It explores "parasitic personhood," an alternative to atomistic individualism that acknowledges the biological individual as a network of persistent biological relationships (a "holobiont"). It's of interest to students and scholars of food and eating, as well as philosophers considering the ontological significance of food and eating.
