History of Ideas 3: Thoreau

Past Present Future

NOTE

Thoreau's Travel Philosophy

Thoreau believed that the true journey one should embark on is within oneself, exploring the unmarked territories in our minds rather than seeking exotic places in the world. He emphasized the importance of delving into one's own thoughts and emotions, viewing oneself as the Christopher Columbus of their own head. Thoreau suggested that the most significant exploration is not of distant lands but of our inner selves, encouraging individuals to venture into the woods and dive deep into self-discovery.
