Description
A Philosophy of Walking by Frédéric Gros is a passionate exploration of the simple life and the joy in simple things. This book charts the many ways we get from A to B, from the pilgrimage to the promenade, and reveals what they say about us.
Gros draws attention to thinkers who saw walking as central to their practice, including those who used it to think, write, or escape. He reflects on the ways in which walking influenced history's greatest thinkers, from Henry David Thoreau to Nietzsche.
Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other. With its unique blend of philosophy and travelogue, this book invites you to ponder the power of walking in your own life.
