Beskrivning

Joshua Heter and David O’Hara have circled a diverse group of camper-philosophers around the fire in Camping and Philosophy: Big Ideas in the Great Outdoors to try to answer some unanswerable questions. There is an entire cosmos of reasons campers have been prone to spiritual experiences since humanity started sleeping under the stars (by choice) thousands of years ago. And these twenty-seven chapters offer their own answers to the questions asked by campers across the globe. What exactly is camping (is it the type of thing that can be defined)? Is spending time in the great outdoors necessary for the good life? What would ancient schools of thought tell us about the best way to camp?From Aristotle to Zhuangzi—that means Backpacking, Basho, Beauty, Bicycles, Buddhism, (Henry) Bugbee, and Burning Man before we even get through the Bs—there is something for all sorts of thinkers in Camping and Philosophy.
