Philosophical practice originated in the 1980s when philosophers started counseling aimed at individuals, groups or organizations. Nowadays, there are many different forms of philosophical practice; a philosophical walk is one of them. It is a spiritual exercise in the sense of Pierre Hadot, one of the founding fathers of the discipline. In this workshop, I will first give a short introduction on walking and philosophy in general and on Hadot’s idea of the philosopher as being “atopos” (without a place) in particular. Next we will take a walk on the Leusdener heather. Just like Socrates and Phaidros we will look for the right spot to philosophize. Finally, we come back to reflect on our experience and discuss the role of philosophical walks in consultation. |
