“A Philosophy of Walking” by Frédéric Gros, a French philosopher and professor explores the simple yet profound act of walking and its significance in human life. Gros delves into the history of walking and examines the experiences of famous thinkers and writers who were known for their long walks, such as Nietzsche, Thoreau, and Rimbaud. Through these explorations, the book presents walking as an act of freedom, a form of meditation, and a way to connect with the world on a deeper level. Gros argues that walking can be a powerful antidote to the fast-paced, technology-driven lives many people lead today.
