Post-Prandial Philosophy is a collection of essays written by British author Grant Allen and published in 1894. The book includes twelve essays, each exploring different topics related to science, philosophy, and society. The essays are written in a conversational tone and are intended to be read after a meal, when the mind is relaxed and receptive to new ideas.The topics covered in the essays range from the nature of consciousness and the origins of life to the role of women in society and the merits of vegetarianism. Allen draws on his extensive knowledge of science and philosophy to offer insightful and thought-provoking perspectives on these topics.In the opening essay, Allen discusses the importance of philosophy in everyday life and argues that it is essential for individuals to develop their own philosophical beliefs in order to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. He then goes on to explore the concept of consciousness and the ways in which it is related to the brain and the body.Other essays in the book delve into topics such as the evolution of plants and animals, the role of art in society, and the benefits of living a simple and natural life. Throughout the book, Allen encourages readers to question their assumptions and to think critically about the world around them.Overall, Post-Prandial Philosophy is a fascinating and engaging collection of essays that offers a unique perspective on science, philosophy, and society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in these topics and for those looking for a thought-provoking and enjoyable read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
