This was a great intro to philosophy. It briefly describes influential events and people that shape our world and history of philosophy to help you decide who you want to research more. It tries to include women. On occasion it is too brief.

A Philosophy of Walking | Frederic Gros

Well that was an interesting experiment. There are poetic passages featuring the author's direct reflections on walking with which I could identify strongly. There were inclusions of certain philosophers and figures from history and their connection to walking that I found more or less informative. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 And then there were more spiritual leanings that had me gazing askance at the text, questioning the validity of their inclusion, as well as those prescriptive and proscriptive passages that felt like lectures on the proper way to walk, how to get the most benefit (verging into self help book territory) which had me rolling my eyes. 6d
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 What I found relatable or enlightening was too far outweighed by what I found redundant, heavy-handed or irrelevant. Can't recommend. 6d

My #Roll100 for May is Sophie‘s World.

Glad I am getting to this one, as my mum bought it for me after she read and enjoyed it ☺️

Can't agree with everything Gros is saying, but I strongly identify with certain passages.

This book delves into philosophical principles such as metaphysics and epistemology from a Christian perspective albeit Catholic. It responds to these questions not in further abstract concepts but in the person of Jesus Christ. It boldly claims that all the answers to the questions you have can be found in Him.

Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance is a book I‘d recommend to privileged white men who take themselves too seriously. For me? It was fine, but not one I‘ll be re-reading. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/zen-and-the-art-of-motorcycle-maintenance-r...

Sometimes I can't get a thought out of my head. Friday it was, “wait are we a greek Chorus on Taylor Swift's new album?“ And here we are. https://youtu.be/_wWM3xuShR4

Alternates sections on the author's list of favourite philosophers and on themes and questions. Mostly concerned with the European tradition with occasional glances at India. Does what it says on the tin, serves as an introduction.
