How did walking affect the thinking and writing of figures as diverse as Virginia Woolf, Friedrich Nietzsche, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Simone de Beauvoir, and Soren Kierkegaard? What can the experience of walking tell us about the various ways in which human consciousness is embodied? In his newest publication, Philosophers’ Walks, local author and philosopher Bruce Baugh follows in the footsteps of these writers and thinkers in an effort to understand how imagination, memory, thought, and emotions are illuminated by walking. 

Join us in our studios on Friday, March 18 at 4:00pm to discuss these ideas and to celebrate the launch of Philosophers’ Walks. Baugh will offer a presentation on his research and discuss his travels in England, Switzerland, France, and Denmark in pursuit of the relation between walking and thinking.

Copies of Philosophers’ Walks will be available for purchase.
