Description

Barbara Cassin embarks on a philosophical exploration that intertwines themes of home, memory, and the essence of belonging. Through the lens of classic figures like Odysseus and Aeneas, as well as contemporary philosopher Hannah Arendt, she examines what it truly means to be 'at home.' This journey is not just geographical but delves into the emotional and intellectual landscapes that shape identity and place.

As Cassin weaves together these narratives, she challenges traditional notions of nostalgia, inviting readers to reconsider their relationship with the past and the ways it influences their present. Each character brings a unique perspective, revealing the complexities of displacement and the longing for a place that feels like home.

Ultimately, this inquiry prompts deeper reflections on modern existence and the ties that bind individuals to their cultural and historical roots, making it a thought-provoking read for those captivated by philosophical discourse rooted in timeless human experiences.
