Descriere
"This
is
the
finest
kind
of
travel:
not
just
across
continents,
but
through
time,
space
and
our
infinite
minds.
The
journey
is
the
joy,
and
Emily
Thomas
a
terrific
guide."

Mike
ParkerHow
can
we
think
more
deeply
about
travel?
This
was
the
question
that
inspired
Emily
Thomas
journey
into
the
philosophy
of
travel.
Part
philosophical
ramble,
part
travelogue,
The
Meaning
of
Travel
begins
in
the
Age
of
Discovery,
when
philosophers
first
started
taking
travel
seriously.
It
meanders
forward
to
consider
Montaigne
on
otherness,
John
Locke
on
cannibals,
and
Henry
Thoreau
on
wilderness.On
our
travels
with
Thomas,
we
discover
the
dark
side
of
maps,
how
the
philosophy
of
space
fuelled
mountain
tourism,
and
why
you
should
wash
underwear
in
woodland
cabins...
We
also
confront
profound
issues,
such
as
the
ethics
of
'doom
tourism
(travel
to
'doomed'
glaciers
and
coral
reefs),
and
the
effect
of
space
travel
on
human
significance
in
a
leviathan
universe.The
first
ever
history
of
the
places
where
history
and
philosophy
meet,
this
book
will
reshape
your
understanding
of
travel.
Recenzii
Emily
Thomas
combines
a
personal
voice
with
highly
informative,
well-researched
glimpses
of
particular
philosophical
travellers...
It's
accessible
and
it's
entertaining,
but
also
opens
up
interesting
philosophical
ideas.
It's
very
original.
Emily Thomas has used her command of the philosophical canon to extend our understanding of an impulse that many of us share but few examine in such depth. The Meaning of Travel is a manifesto for the virtues that travel can bestow on the traveller not just an increase in knowledge, but a deep humility at the scale and diversity of the world, and an enduring wonder that we live on such a planet.
No one could ask for a more congenial companion than Emily Thomas on her 2,000-plus year journey through The Meaning of Travel ... an engaging primer on how travel has transformed both what we know and how we think.
Exceptionally thoughtful.
Given our Covid confinement, "The Meaning of Travel" could not have come at a more poignant and appropriate time this profound little book explores why humans choose to wander from their homes with no ostensible purpose other than to make the excursion in question... Thomas is particularly engaging on the subject of the wilderness, and an account of a trip she made by herself to Alaska runs parallel with her broader inquiry.
Novelty, knowledge and insight can be found in travel. It can make us wiser as well as better-informed ... having read this book, I am now both.
Emily Thomas's original and fun book The Meaning of Travel is my top pick in a year when travel is going to be difficult. One of the joys of the book is she's found so many great quotations from philosophers on the topic.
The author moves deftly from one aspect of travel and philosophy to the next and her delight in the subject is well conveyed... [The book] is more like an old map, an invitation to adventure which might take the form of travel or philosophy or, preferably, both. I recommend it especially to those with a strong faith in universal common sense, for travel and philosophy can sometimes disturb any such notion.
A real delight... Treat yourself!
Brilliantly researched and detailed, while staying humorous throughout, 'The Meaning of Travel' is a fantastic exploration of how travel can broaden the mind.
A unique and extraordinary read that is as informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking.
A highly enjoyable and stimulating read - definitely a good book to take with you on your travels.
An original, engaging book... Emily Thomas has a lightness of touch that never undercuts the seriousness and complexities of the issues discussed.
This is the finest kind of travel: not just across continents, but through time, space and our infinite minds. The journey is the joy, and Emily Thomas a terrific guide.
At last - a book not about where we travel, but why. The Meaning of Travel illuminates the reasons weve been tempted to set out on untrodden paths for centuries.
