Wkład filozofii w rozwój systematycznego chodzenia
Philosophy’s Contribution to Daily Walking

Summary/Abstract: We are increasingly appreciating the benefits of habitual walking, which can, as in many other cases, take the form of athletic walking. Studies show that regular and systematic walking improves people’s sleep, mood, blood circula- tion and even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. We can consider walking not only in its health dimension, but also in its cognitive, environmental and social dimensions. These three dimensions of walking are highlighted by mod- ern education. The benefits of walking have also been known and promoted by philosophers ranging from the ancient Cynics to such contemporary thinkers as Immanuel Kant, Henry David Thoreau and Walter Benjamin. Reflecting on walking in the lives of these thinkers, shows that philosophy is still a teacher of life, not just theoretical musings.
