Abstract

This paper draws a philosophical heritage map of Intramuros

and environs. The map includes several religious sites in

Intramuros and two monuments of heroes outside the walls. The

paper explains the reason for drawing such a map by, firstly,

discussing the theory of place-based learning. Secondly, it will

discuss the philosophical walk as a dialogue with the

environment (nature and the city). A philosophical heritage

map is also understood not only as a tour of sites associated with

philosophers and the history of ideas but a movement along sites

of wonder, rumination, contemplation, and critical thinking. As

such, walking as a philosophical practice means bringing

philosophy back to the streets to understand the plight of the

marginalized. Thirdly, it will give examples of the three kinds

of philosophical walks. The study ends with a discussion of the

implications of a philosophical heritage map of Manila.
