About us
The Walking Philosophers isn’t a gimmick; it’s a literal nod to Aristotle, the original “peripatetic” (Greek peripatētikós = “given to walking about”). He taught his pupils by pacing the Lyceum, proving that motion can sharpen the mind. Later thinkers—Thoreau, Nietzsche, Kant—picked up the same idea, arguing that the cadence of a stride syncs with the cadence of thought.
Why bother? Because walking forces you to ditch the static‑brain‑drain of a desk and confront ideas head‑on, step by step. No lofty metaphors, just the physics of locomotion paired with the chemistry of cognition.
What’s on offer?
A guided trek across Sydney’s iconic sites (Opera House, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, St Mary’s, Anzac Memorial, Royal Botanic Gardens). Continuous, paved pathways that keep the conversation flowing without tripping over potholes—ideal for dissecting philosophy, strategy, or the latest rat‑control tech. A multicultural backdrop that mirrors the diversity of thought you’ll encounter on the walk.
Ready to trade a stagnant office chair for a moving lecture hall? Join the group, lace up, and let the city’s rhythm fuel a relentless exchange of ideas.
Let’s walk, talk, learn, and push each other forward—literally and intellectually—through Sydney’s ever‑changing climate and cultural tapestry.
