Annotation
Ulysses, this greatest nostalgic (Kundera), is the archetype of philosophy itself. Philosophy is a remarkable human activity that touches not only thought but the person of the philosopher.
And the philosopher is someone who embarks on an odyssey of homecoming, a homecoming that is motivated by deep homesickness. In this lecture series, we will try to understand philosophy as an idea of human life that is a journey toward home, a longing for home (nostalgia), and a movement of human self-realization.
