Philosophical Issues in Tourism Paperback / softback
Edited by John Tribe
Part of the Aspects of Tourism series
Paperback / softback
Description
Despite the geometric expansion of tourism knowledge, some areas have remained stubbornly underdeveloped and a full or comprehensive consideration of the philosophical issues of tourism represents one such significant knowledge gap.
A key aim of this book therefore is to provide an initial mapping of, and fresh insights into this territory.
In doing so it discusses key philosophical questions in the field such as What is tourism?
Who is a tourist? What is wisdom? What is it to know something? What is the nature of reality? Why are some destinations considered beautiful? Why is tourism desirable? What is good and bad tourism? What are desirable ends? These and similar topics are addressed this book under the headings of truth, beauty and virtue.
