The Diary of Samuel Pepys offers not only a firsthand account of the political and social life in the 17th-century England, but also a profound insight into the culinary habits of the diarist and his contemporaries. In circumstances of grief or jeopardy, Pepys appears to be searching for ways to obliterate and shun the peril by turning to his favourite pleasure which is food and drink enjoyed in a good company. The author clearly treats the activity as a form of escapism and a social emollient which mitigates feuds and conquers fears. The paper examines Pepys's life philosophy focusing on those aspects of the Diary where eating and drinking appear as the main sources of the author's merriness and a technique which helps to overcome the hardships and adversities of everyday life. ; Dziennik Samuela Pepysa oferuje nie tylko relacje świadka politycznych i społecznych wydarzeń w siedemnastowiecznej Anglii, ale również cenny wgląd w kulinarne nawyki londyńczyków. W sytuacji zagrożenia życia lub w momentach smutku i żalu Pepys szuka sposobów na pocieszenie i zapomnienie, zwracając się często w stronę swojej ulubionej przyjemności: jedzenia i picia w towarzystwie przyjaciół i bliskich. Artykuł jest próbą analizy tych wątków dziennika Samuela Pepysa, w których autor traktuje tę aktywność jako formę eskapizmu w czasach zarazy i wielkiego pożaru w Londynie w roku 1666 oraz jako czynnik łagodzący społeczne napięcia, lęki i niepokoje.

These new essays examine philosophical issues at the intersection of feminism and autonomy studies. Are autonomy and independence useful goals for women and subordinate persons? Is autonomy possible in contexts of social subordination and oppression? Is the pursuit of desires that issue from patriarchal norms consistent with autonomous agency? How should we understand the concepts of relational autonomy and adaptive preferences? How do emotions and caring relate to autonomous deliberation? Contributors to this collection answer these and related questions.
