What do philosophy and travel have in common? For one thing – venturing into the unknown. Seeking it out even. In a word (or two) – human curiosity.

In the short article I share with you today, philosophy professor Emily Thomas offers a glimpse into the “quiet love affair” that philosophy and travel have enjoyed for centuries.

“I think this is when philosophy and travel are at their most fascinating: when they look to the borders of what humans do not know.”

Emily Thomas

Keeping up the “Spreading the Word” tradition, I hope to share an insightful and mind-broadening article, podcast episode or video every weekend. Humans have always turned and returned to storytelling to find meaning. My end-of-week “Spreading the Word” posts are an online sharing of meaningful stories.

keep exploring and storytelling!
