Escapism by Yi-Fu Tuan

juultjuh's review against another edition

Very dense and philosophical, but with very interesting statements about human nature. I'm sure I'll have to reread this at least once to understand all the points that Tuan makes.

very interesting and eye-opening perspectives relating to human nature, though i didn’t enjoy how many chapters were written with a pessimistic tone. i think human beings are much kinder and more selfless than they are given credit for in many parts (maybe i am too much of an optimist) and i felt some points and the language used were outdated- of course, this was expected. tuan offered insight into religion, nature, and language that i’ve never considered before. overall loved the way it was written poetically despite how academic and philosophical the topics.
