FRS 114 - The Art of Walking

Institution:

Centre College

Subject:

Description:

A course offering a close reading of Kant's Critique of Judgment in the morning and considerable walking in the hills and pastures of central Kentucky in the afternoon. The first half of Kant's Critique (1790) describes the behavior and range of judgments about beauty in nature and in art. The second half describes the behavior and range of judgments about the purpose of natural organisms and of nature itself. In this context, walking serves two purposes. First, it is the means for exploring the validity of Kant's aesthetic and scientific descriptions of the environment. Second, it the best way to preserve nature and ourselves for the purpose of this exploration. The course includes daily afternoon walks (typically 1-4 pm).
