Welcome to a philosophical walk in the green campus area of Mattilanniemi, by the flowing water! During the walk you can walk your thoughts guided by philosophical thought crumbs.

We will explore and reflect on empathy from different philosophical perspectives and traditions. During the walk, you can exchange ideas with other walkers or ponder in peace and quiet on your own. The philosophical walk is based on the idea of encountering others, and you will encounter other people as well as nature. By walking in the environment with an open mind, you can become part of the philosophical reflection that unites all people.

The walks are led by PhD researchers Sari Hietamäki and Anttoni Kuusela.
