The Camino de Santiago is a network of ancient pilgrim routes leading to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain, where tradition has it that the tomb of the apostle St. James the Great was discovered in the ninth century. In this paper, the mode of existence of a solitary walking pilgrim is characterized through comparison with that of a typical tourist and with that of a typical resident in his daily life-world, and it is then found that the experiential life of such a solitary walking pilgrim during his journey can be divided into five stages in the light of J.-C. Rufin’s account of his pilgrimage. It is finally shown that a pilgrim has the opportunity to experience the reconciliation among mind, body and nature, which is explicated with the help of certain ideas from M. Merleau-Ponty and technical terms from G. W. F. Hegel. |
