Abstract

Getting lost is an experience of an absolute loss of knowledge. Those who no longer have any sense of orientation have no reliable knowledge about the world. This essay sketches out various stages of this loss of direction and traces the advice that can be found in different areas: In philosophy, in literature, in outdoor manuals and in mythical material. The highly contradictory recommendations on what to do when you get lost have implications for both politics and the philosophy of science.
