Walking With Plato: A Philosophical Hike Through the British Isles
English
By (author): Gary Hayden
If one keeps on walking, everything will be alright. So said Danish writer Søren Kierkegaard, and so thought philosophy buff Gary Hayden as he set off on Britains most challenging trek: to walk from John OGroats to Lands End. But it wasnt all quaint country lanes, picture-postcard villages and cosy bed and breakfasts.
In this humorous, inspiring and delightfully British tale, Gary finds solitude and weary limbs bring him closer to the wisdom of the worlds greatest thinkers. Recalling Rousseaus reverie, Bertrand Russells misery, Platos love of beauty and Epicurus joy in simplicity, Walking with Plato offers a breath of fresh, country air and clarity for anyone craving an escape from the humdrum of everyday life.
