Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an essayist, poet, and philosopher. Walking was first published in the June 1862 issue of Atlantic Monthly. In this treatise, Thoreau reminds us of how the primal act of walking connects us with nature. He argues that the genius of walking does not lie in mechanically putting one foot in front of the other toward to a destination, but in mastering the art of sauntering. The themes of Walking include freedom, self-reflection, and exploration. Thoreau states that the act of walking marks the human being as an inhabitant, or part and parcel of nature, rather than a member of society.

I came across this work more or less by chance, expecting a philosophically interesting perspective. It did not meet that expectation — but in fairness, that expectation may not fit the work itself.

I guess Walking is best read as a historical testimony or an expression of (probably also: opposition to) a 19th-century settler-colonial worldview in the United States — a worldview that may, in part, still echo today.

Readers looking for concrete, original, or rigorously argued philosophical positions on walking, the West, or wildness will likely not find them here.
