Abstract

Peripatetic Philosophizing represents a learning and teaching format in which learners work out philosophical topics and content while walking in a thematically affine environment, incorporating philosophical didactic learning/teaching methods. Learners can be individuals or groups in face-to-face or distance learning, depending on the teaching/learning context. The article first describes Peripatetic Philosophizing as a current form of learning and teaching, in order to then explain the four contexts of reasoning from which Peripatetic Philosophizing feeds as the “four pillars of Peripatetic Philosophizing”: tradition, cognition, locomotion, and situation. Finally, the article offers an outlook on current developments in Peripatetic Philosophizing and emphasizes its suitability for learning settings in the context of pandemic prevention and distance learning.
