anyone know it?
I believe it is something like: “All is learned through walking,” or something similar.
The idea seems to be a modern exercise for experiencing and developing the Holy faculty of Attention and the effect of presence on “awakening” known since ancient times and is, of course, not restricted to walking.
thats really interesting because the term is used by Husserl in the Formal and Transcendental Logic.
thank you so much
Jesus Nick, you are so damned metaphysical. It literally means “walking loosens”. It could mean anything from the digestif properties of a good walk after a meal – from which it probably is derived – to “stop thinking about it so abstractly, and do something”, or “solved in practice”, or “movement creates solutions”.
For any Latin questions this site is the one:

If you’re not familiar with it, it will take a little navigation time, but enter any single latin word in the field and it will take you to a screen with a brief definition and a grammatical analysis of the form you entered. There also will be a link to the full definition as found in the definitive Lewis & Short Latin dictionary, as well as links to actual passages in which the word is used in context.
If Nick is a little too metaphysical, I’m a little too analytical, what can I say. Now I’m going for a walk.

solved in practice is what i was looking for. i got that gist from Nick, but you’re definitely helpful too. husserl is pretty analytic (though continental…). good link.
I posted my post of course before I realized that you had responded to Nick. I would have phrased my usual jab at Nick’s metaphysiasia differently, if I had known.

it was a favorite phrase of Nietzsche as well…

do you know where he uses it?
Dunamis
Just think: with your analytical mind and my metaphysical mind, we could take over the world.
Someone had mentioned this idea a while back which is why I remembered it. I just did a google search and I see where I got the metaphysical connotation from.

Excerpts:
The phrase must mean something more than just mechanical digestion and similar reactions and seems to include the attention necessary to really receive the totality of rather than selective impressions from external life.

You get beyond the words through “attention” that provides inner verification and revelation. Just doing something with your head in the clouds doesn’t verify anything but just sustains a conditioned perspective.
Heh heh heh. This of course raises the interesting question as to the difference between “doing” something and just allowing what is natural to happen as is normal for cave life but that is another issue.
No, but you could take over the metaphysical world, if detrop doesn’t object.

On ne peut penser et écrire qu’assis [One cannot think and write except when seated] (G. Flaubert). There I have caught you, nihilist! The sedentary life is the very sin against the Holy Spirit. Only thoughts reached by walking have value."
I think he uses it in Zarathustra as well…

Excellent reference!
