HUM 267 The Art of Walking
This course consists of a close reading of Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927) and of numerous walks on sidewalks and trails in central Kentucky. The first half of Being and Time treats everyday existence by way of the familiar use of tools and language. The second half re-reads everydayness in starker terms of death, authenticity and time. The course walks offer a first-hand experience of these themes and an opportunity to discuss them non-frontally.
