It is a critique of what Nietzsche called life-denying religion in favour of life-affirming sensuality. But to view the film in that way is to get it profoundly wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his study of the film, Julian Baggini argues that \u003ci\u003eBabette's Feast\u003c\/i\u003e is not about the battle between religiosity and secularity but a deep examination of how the two can come together. Baggini's analysis focuses on themes of love, pleasure, artistry, and grace, to provide a rich philosophical reading of this most sensual of films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455527960812,"sku":"9781911239673","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/917p9-F4saL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774778538","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/babettes-feast-by-dr-julian-baggini-9781911239673","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
