Our June philosophy walk was wonderful. Accompanied by superb weather, courtesy of mother nature, our group headed out at 9:30am from Reeder’s Alley for a fun journey around downtown Helena and discussion about philosophy, urban design & development, nature, architecture, place (what contributes to our “sense of place”), and values.
On our walk we explored the following questions:
- What is the history of Helena?
- What values were in play and helped to shape it?
- Have these values changed? If so, how & why?
- Are there things we value that we do not see reflected in our city and wish we did?
- What can be done about that?
Special thanks to our guest speaker/historian/artist/co-philosopher on trail, Dennis McCahon, and to Michael Chapman for capturing photos of our walk & talk!
Thank you to P.L.A.T.O. (Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization) for helping to support our philosophy in the community programs and making events like this possible!
