Description
Escogido entre los Best Philosophy Books 2020 ¿Cómo pensar de forma más profunda sobre la idea misma de viaje? Esa fue la pregunta que llevó a Emily Thomas a adentrarse en la historia de la filosofía en busca de las reflexiones de los grandes pensadores sobre el acto de viajar. A medio camino entre el diario de viaje y el libre vagabundeo filosófico, El viaje y su sentido inicia su recorrido en la Era de los descubrimientos, cuando los filósofos empezaron a considerar el viaje como un concepto sobre el que valía la pena detenerse. Nos encontramos así con las reflexiones de Montaigne sobre la alteridad, la mirada de Locke sobre el canibalismo o las consideraciones de Henry Thoreau sobre la naturaleza salvaje. Emily Thomas nos guía en esta maravillosa excursión en la que descubrimos el lado oscuro de los mapas o cómo la filosofía sobre el espacio y el tiempo impulsó el turismo de montaña, a la vez que nos enfrentamos a cuestiones más complejas como la de la justificación ética del doom tourism (visitar lugares "condenados" a desaparecer, como glaciares y arrecifes de coral), o nos preguntamos por la relevancia del viajar para la comprensión del ser humano.
