It\u2019s there, on the soft plush upholstery of a train seat, that I started to appreciate travelling alone. <\/p>\n<p>Before I left, I\u2019d never considered for a moment how lonely Erasmus must have felt during his travels. Erasmus believes that the less he engages with others, the more purely he can express his deepest thoughts. I find it impossible to isolate myself completely. Precisely where the trail stops, I decide to continue my journey. This is when I discovered the piece of Erasmus in the minds of Philippe, Professor Rex and Marta.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube

left his homeland Syria in 2011 to study psychology in Italy. After the civil war broke out, he travelled against the flow of refugees back to Aleppo to care for his sick father. After his father\u2019s death, he brought his mother and sister to Rome, the city where I meet Philippe giving a guest lecture to a school class.<\/p>\n<p>During the talk, I notice how little the children know about the war in Syria. In fluent Italian, Philippe explains what the conflict is all about and that his compatriots are fleeing Syria to escape the bullets of both Assad and so-called Islamic State. At the end, I approach Philippe and ask him whether he isn\u2019t surprised by the ignorance of the schoolchildren. He looks at me and unfolds his hands; they seem to hold an invisible edition of \u2018In Praise of Folly\u2019: \u201cAs long as they keep asking questions, I know that we\u2019re not forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4420\" height=\"3315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118 4420w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455-875x656.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455-1280x960.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455-300x225.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/06\/20140653\/fullsizeoutput_455-540x405.jpeg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139118 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4420px) 100vw, 4420px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p data-component=\"image-credits\" class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 items-center text-base\">\n\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M19.5 5.25H16.9012L15.6234 3.33375C15.555 3.23114 15.4623 3.147 15.3535 3.08879C15.2448 3.03057 15.1233 3.00007 15 3H9C8.87665 3.00007 8.75522 3.03057 8.64648 3.08879C8.53773 3.147 8.44502 3.23114 8.37656 3.33375L7.09781 5.25H4.5C3.90326 5.25 3.33097 5.48705 2.90901 5.90901C2.48705 6.33097 2.25 6.90326 2.25 7.5V18C2.25 18.5967 2.48705 19.169 2.90901 19.591C3.33097 20.0129 3.90326 20.25 4.5 20.25H19.5C20.0967 20.25 20.669 20.0129 21.091 19.591C21.5129 19.169 21.75 18.5967 21.75 18V7.5C21.75 6.90326 21.5129 6.33097 21.091 5.90901C20.669 5.48705 20.0967 5.25 19.5 5.25ZM15.375 12.375C15.375 13.0425 15.1771 13.695 14.8062 14.25C14.4354 14.8051 13.9083 15.2376 13.2916 15.4931C12.6749 15.7485 11.9963 15.8154 11.3416 15.6852C10.6869 15.5549 10.0855 15.2335 9.61351 14.7615C9.14151 14.2895 8.82007 13.6881 8.68985 13.0334C8.55962 12.3787 8.62646 11.7001 8.88191 11.0834C9.13735 10.4667 9.56993 9.93964 10.125 9.56879C10.68 9.19794 11.3325 9 12 9C12.8951 9 13.7535 9.35558 14.3865 9.98851C15.0194 10.6214 15.375 11.4799 15.375 12.375Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Image by:<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/persons\/job-zomerplaag\/\" class=\"underline hocus:no-underline decoration-1 underline-offset-2\">Job Zomerplaag<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professor in Cambridge: a piece of Erasmus in our time<\/h2><p>An historic edition of Erasmus\u2019 best known book lies on the solid wooden desk in Professor Richard Rex\u2019 study. In 2015, the head of theology studies at Queen\u2019s College, the Cambridge University college where Erasmus spent many years teaching, discovered a lost verse in the margins of a book that is attributed to Erasmus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike scientists, scholars of philosophy rarely make discoveries: the discovery of a \u2018piece of Erasmus\u2019 is something that only happens once in a hundred years,\u201d the professor explains with modest pride.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Rex browses through old manuscripts almost daily. One day, his eye fell on a couple of lines written in the margins of a book. After extensive research \u2013 including some Googling \u2013 \u201cThat\u2019s obviously not a source, but a useful indication\u201d \u2013 it proved to be an as yet unknown epitaph by Erasmus. In the verse, Erasmus writes about the death of the English King Henry VII: he confuses the reader as to whether he is criticising the King or the English people. \u201cThis discovery won\u2019t change the world, but it\u2019s amazing to be the one to discover a piece of Erasmus at \u2018his\u2019 college!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

changing the world: I had intense discussions with 25-year-old Marta Rudnicka. After growing up and studying in Poland, the self-proclaimed world citizen moved to Switzerland to do a PhD in social anthropology at Basel University. Close to Erasmus\u2019 grave, I talk to her about my inner, call it Erasmian, urge to change the world.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re very naive if you think that you can change the world. Although I do feel it\u2019s important that you continue to believe you can.\u201d Marta\u2019s comment stops me in my tracks and encourages me to ask her the same question: \u201cDo you believe that you can make the world a better place?\u201d \u201cNo, I can\u2019t do that,\u201d she answers honestly: she believes that she\u2019d be better helping people understand what\u2019s happening in the world. <\/p>\n<p>But isn\u2019t it possible at all, without losing sight of your own interest, to strive towards a higher goal? \u201cI don\u2019t believe so. People can only come together temporarily to serve a common goal.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Her opinion surprises me: Marta feels a world citizen, but doesn\u2019t seem to want to take any responsibility for changing \u2018her\u2019 world: \u201cYes, I feel like a citizen of the world, but the world is simply too big and too diverse for us to be able to strive for a higher goal like world peace.\u201d I think I hear something rumbling in the distance: was that Erasmus, the man who appealed for world peace, turning in his grave?<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-default\">\n  <p><\/p><center><small><em>(advertisement)<\/em><\/small><br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.treinreiswinkel.nl\/reizen\/interrail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/TRW-banner-Erasmus.jpg\" alt=\"Treinreiswinkel\"><\/a><\/center>\n<\/div>\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p>The stories about the journey are told, at least for now.
