摘要

Abstract

Since 2007

I conduct philosophical walks as individual consultations

teachings or Socratic group exercises. A philosophical walk is intended to make participants think

to deepen thoughts and to become conscious of oneself in relation to the surroundings by walking. It is a form of philosophical practice

facilitating dialogue so that a meaningful story can be obtained. Participants are encouraged to (i) walk in such a way that they obtain space for thoughts and thinking

(ii) conceptualize

(iii) identify a place related to a concept

(iv) question concepts

place and space

and (v) connect concepts with their experience. In this paper

I will describe the method of my philosophical walks and give an example: a philosophical walk at the campus of Nanjing University

China

in 2013. The aim is to provide readers a tool for conducting philosophical walks themselves and walk just like Lao-Tzu

Confucius

Socrates

Aristotle

Nietzsche and many other philosophers have done in order to philosophize and produce concepts related to life

person and place.
