The freedom in walking lies in not being anyone; for the walking body has no history, it is just an eddy in the stream of immemorial life. In A Philosophy of Walking, a bestseller in France, leading thinker Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B-the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble-and reveals what they say about us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003eGros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003eIn contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frédéric Gros, John Howe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54100209303891,"sku":"9781804290446","price":17.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/6695\/5859\/files\/9781804290446-L.jpg?v=1782404996","url":"https:\/\/lorienbooks.com\/products\/a-philosophy-of-walking-0446","provider":"Lorien Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
