Philosophy and Spirituality of Walking. Walking in solitude. Portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the founder of modern natural experience . Jean-Jacques Rousseaulived in Paris in the eighteenth century, an era that the great mass still had to be invented. Not that it is so much included, there were still no gossip magazines, but also when, in the Paris salons in particular, was already angry voice in the life. Always behind someone's back of course. A celebrity as Rousseau experienced that gossip, lots of expense. You hear that celebrities often complain that they no longer can walk undisturbed on the streets, that people behave differently in immediate recognition that they are always something you want. An uninhibited, spontaneous human relations is hardly possible. The celebrity has the feeling that people always keep something that they never show as they are. At first glance they are very polite, but in the quiet you try to run a leg. The celebrity is almost predestined to develop a paranoid mentality: everyone against him together. That mentality is Rousseau fully developed are: depreciation he really everywhere conspiracies against his person. . Now this was not just a delusion image, because there was a lot of hot-air about him, such as the fact that he abandoned his five children had made. And he was also actually chased not only by enemies but by friends who are nagingen course for him to protect them. Clearly well-intentioned, since everyone would be a little crazy. Paranoia can be a real mood for someone who is actually on the heels is over. In fact, Rousseau has never really felt at home in groups. . He had not talent for.. He was not a man of easy, meaningless talk, and joke of a scintillating debate raised by the differences in food and drink re happy to be settled. Rousseau was too shy, too stiff for if he entered a debate, it was soon to fight. In company he felt generally waisted in a straitjacket of conventions and obligations. He failed to free feel. Without people went to him more closely. In Rousseau loneliness felt at ease. That feeling of freedom came when he was writing and when he stayed in the wilderness. But for him that the same thing: walk stimulated the thinking and the thinking was a form of walking. It's no numbers in his book Reflections of a solitary walker different chapters as "walks." . Walking is a free way of thinking: the walker is not on the road with a clearly defined purpose, but is guided by have been caught, turn one side, where a cross, he sees the true endpoint will be and how long the walk will eventually take. The solitary walker is free of coercion and targeting, is quietly along by the flow of his thoughts. All he can stroll all themselves. Rousseau is one of the first hikers of the West. He is supposedly the founder of modern natural experience. Nature is the projection of our psychological needs. If the culture much order, we find in nature is the wildness. In nature we find peace, beauty and freedom, every human culture seems to be missing. . And that freedom and peace in reality the true nature often hard to find, is for the modern hiker not so much. We want to see and feel so happy. Back to nature, is the motto. On the interaction of walking and philosophizing and the changing role of nature in the world of man. Hiking: travel in the void Looking for a different approach to walking the walk not as a book and organizations prepared activity, but as a journey into the emptiness.
