Produktbeschreibung

Minds in Motion argues that travel literature expedites individual engagements with epistemology because the genre forces authors to determine and disclose the potential value of their individual perspectives, as well as examines how travel writers explore newly configured models of empiricism in the production of experiential knowledge.
