Tour -isms

Since I’m living in Europe now, I thought it would be good to tour everywhere in Europe, and get to know it better.

I’m not into seeing the sights. I don’t take photos. What I want is to get to know the mindset, the world-view of each place. The philosophy.

So I wondered if there’s a way to tour philosophies directly. What if, instead of touring places, we toured ideas? Can I tour the “-ism”s?
