Dr Suki Finn gives a public lecture in Conway Hall London as part of their ‘Ethical Matters’ Sunday Series. It will be held at 3pm 20th November 2022, to promote her book What's in a doughnut hole? And other philosophical food for thought (Icon). To book a ticket and find out more click here.

Does a doughnut hole exist? What makes a sandwich a sandwich? Can the baker, who only bakes for those who don’t bake for themselves, bake for herself? Using food to explore classic philosophical puzzles and paradoxes about how we know things, abstract ideas about our world, language and about how we define the truth, this talk will get your brain whirring and your stomach grumbling. Dr Finn serves up plenty of philosophical food for thought – enough to whet the appetite of the novice and to satisfy philosophers hungry for a different take on familiar themes. The question, the title of her forthcoming book, ‘What’s in a Doughnut Hole?’ gives us new ways to think about the world and to understand our place in it.
