Description

Philosophers' Walks is an engaging and invigorating exploration of how walking reveals space and place, providing a heightened sense of embodied consciousness. Bruce Baugh takes us on a philosophical tour, following in the footsteps and thoughts of great thinkers such as Rousseau, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Virginia Woolf.

Through his walks, Baugh examines the link between solitary mountain walks and great thoughts, urban flânerie and spiritual inwardness, and the transposition of Romantic nature pantheism to London in Mrs. Dalloway. This fresh and imaginative reading offers a new way of understanding some of these philosophers' major works and ideas.
