El viaje y su sentido

How to think more deeply about the very idea of ??travel? That was the question that led Emily Thomas to delve into the history of philosophy in search of the reflections of the great thinkers on the act of travel. Halfway between the travel diary and free philosophical wandering, Travel and Its Sense begins its journey in the Age of Discovery, when philosophers began to consider travel as a concept worth stopping at. Thus we find Montaigne's reflections on otherness, Locke's view on cannibalism or Henry Thoreau's considerations on wild nature. Emily Thomas guides us on this wonderful excursion in which we discover the dark side of maps or how philosophy about space and time drove mountain tourism, while facing more complex questions such as ethical justification from doom tourism (visiting places "doomed" to disappear, such as glaciers and coral reefs), or we wonder about the relevance of travel for the understanding of the human being.
