About this episode
What does travel mean? Why has formal philosophy largely ignored the question? Just how strange is it to release a book on travel in the time of a global lock down and what exactly is the world missing right now? Jay introduces Frank Jackson's famous "Mary's Room" thought experiment to consider the notion of experience vs imagination in the context of travel.
Jay and Emily swap travel stories of giant Pringles cans in Ghana and Christmas villages in Alaska.
Jay ends by considering travel as a physical form of philosophy.
