A prominent 19th-century German philosopher whom Alain de Botton frequently quotes throughout his book. He argued that travel can be valuable because it allows people to learn information that they can use to enrich their own lives, rejected the notion that painters can ever merely reproduce the world exactly as it is, and appreciated Xavier de Maistre’s ability to “make much of little.”
