What this is

Wayfarism is a philosophy assembled from existing traditions — Absurdism, Stoicism, Aristotelian virtue ethics, Pragmatism — and from the British literary tradition of endurance with humour. It does not claim to have invented any of its component parts. It claims to have arranged them in a way that is useful.

Where it came from

A conversation about what to do with a life, conducted honestly. The philosophy was not written in a study. It was worked out in the way most useful things are worked out — in fragments, over time, in response to actual difficulty.

An open philosophy

Wayfarism is not finished. The Wayfarer in Fiction section will grow. The Codex will be revised. If a character, a quote, a definition, or an argument belongs here and is missing, that is an oversight rather than a position. The road is still being walked.

For discussions, suggestions, or corrections — the door is open.
