Philosopher's Rock is a statue outside Barton Springs in Austin, Texas, featuring Texas naturalists Roy Bedichek, Walter Prescott Webb and J. Frank Dobie. The three were said to hold court on important topics at the edge of the famous swimming hole--the U.S.'s largest natural swimming pool.

We arrived in Kyoto just in time for cherry blossom season, and on the day we decided to walk along the Philosopher's Path, a few million Japanese people had the same idea - a few, like these, were wearing traditional outfits.
What do you think about Kant's stupendous idea that causality belonged to our conceptual apparatus and not to the world itself.
The Philosophers Path (哲学の道) is one of those places one must see if you are in Kyoto during the Sakura season. It runs from Ginkaku-ji all the way to Nanzen-ji temple. A small river runs along the path and there are cherry trees everywhere! This little path is lined with shops, restaurants and coffee shops and most of all…..packed with people from all over the world.
Visitors walk under the sakura trees at the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto, Japan. Fall petals have covered the water in the canal, turning it pink.
Sakura at Philosopher's Path
Kyoto, Japan

While the famous Ginkakuji was rather disappointing, I was pleasantly surprised that the Philosopher's Path is just right outside the touristy shopping street leading to the former.
While it is perhaps just a super duper long canal that cuts through many residential houses at other times, it was beautifully adorned with Sakura trees in full bloom during the Cherry Blossom season that makes close-up photographs of the famous flower an easy feat. I really recommend this path more than the highly acclaimed Mount Yoshino, especially if u r into macros.:)

Thus we can understand what has to be said about materialistic methods. They provide man with illusion, maya. But this illusion is actually advantageous to man, for when he sees through it, he enters, to begin with, into the kingdom of Ahriman and his spiritual hosts — beings who are out for destruction and death and who cause him to develop certain subtly destructive forces in his own human nature. Intellect in particular, purely external cleverness, is developed in him by the powers into whose realm he enters, so that he becomes crafty, astute in a subtle way. If his earthly intelligence is not sufficiently developed to see through these things, he becomes unconsciously, but subtly cunning and crafty. It may therefore be said that materialistic philosophy represents a period during which man can mature and thus be able, later on, to enter this realm of Ahriman without danger. #rudolfsteiner
