Abstract

This paper offers some thoughts in response to René Arcilla's stimulating new book on road movie philosophy. I consider the book's case for separating the ēducāre and ēdūcere functions of education from one another by examining the teacherly role of the child in Wim Wenders' films. I then reflect on the nature of train travel as a mode of journeying that troubles the distinction between fate and destiny. The paper concludes by viewing the road movie as the route to coherence in life and language.
