Resumen: "Of Walks and Walking Tours: An Attempt to find a Philosophy and a Creed" by Arnold Haultain is a reflective essay written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a philosophical exploration of the art of walking and the deeper meanings and experiences that can be derived from it. Through a combination of personal anecdotes and broader observations about nature, the author endeavors to uncover a philosophy related to the simple pleasure of walking in the natural world. At the start of the work, the author discusses the advent of golf as a distraction from country walks, emphasizing how it has diminished the simple joy of a walk without an objective. He articulates the essence of a true walk as one devoid of aim or mental burden, inviting openness to nature's lessons. Haultain references notable historical figures who were also walkers, suggesting a connection between walking and spiritual enlightenment. Through personal recollections, including walks in diverse landscapes such as England and India, he sets the stage for a larger examination of the interplay between nature and human consciousness, hinting at profound realizations that walking can inspire.
