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. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, \u003ci\u003eA Philosophy of Walking\u003c\/i\u003e is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Philosophy of Walking | Frédéric Gros | Paperback | 9781804290446 | Used: Acceptable | Back Stacks I 1773427","offer_id":49617466720408,"sku":"1773427","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81PSZq2IJfL.jpg?v=1785513896","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/philosophy-of-walking-2","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
