The Ebstorf map has been recreated and is on display:

We know that maps of the globe are always incomplete visions of reality.  The different projections of the world owe as much to psychology as geography.

This difference has been picked up playfully time and time again over recent years, often at the expense of the powerful.  

How we see the features in our immediate world is often about projections of our hopes and fears onto other possessions, places and people.  Schumacher encourages us to question how we make our ‘philosophical maps’.

In what ways could you redraw your assumptions and reveal some blind spots today?
