I just discovered your site, so forgive me if I've overlooked this -- but have you read any books by the geographer Yi-fu Tuan? I am currently reading "Escapism."
Goethe,
No I haven't. Do you recommend it? Tuan's humanism has always been an aside study for me.
I'm enjoying "Escapism." I think Alain de Botom has been inspired by him, especially his book on travel.
