"Although people like to talk about their travels, few of us like to listen to them. Such talk resembles academic writing and reports of dreams: forms of communication driven more by the needs of the producer than the consumer."
In The Case Against Travel the philosopher Agnes Callard launches a vigorous assault on the idea that there is something transformative or ennobling about recreational travel. Going well beyond commonplace complaints about the irksomeness of tourists, Callard's essay is a probing inquiry into what it really means to change one's life, and into the ways in which we try to disguise the fact that life will come to an end.Languages:EnglishPublisher:ErisISBN-13:9781916809819ISBN-10:1916809812UPC:9781916809819Book Category:Literary Collections, PhilosophyBook Subcategory:EssaysSize:7.40 x 0.10 x 0.40 inchesWeight:0.0507Product ID:SCAGWN0DX6
