Philosopher's Walk is a scenic footpath located in the St George campus of the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. It runs in the north–south direction along the ravine landscape created by Taddle Creek, once a natural waterway that was buried during the Industrial Age and is now flowing underground. The path is bounded by several Toronto landmarks, including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, Trinity College, the University of Toronto Faculty of Music, and the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. The small amphitheater on the walk was built around 2010.

  • Philosopher's Walk is a scenic footpath located in the St George campus of the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. It runs in the north–south direction along the ravine landscape created by Taddle Creek, once a natural waterway that was buried during the Industrial Age and is now flowing underground. The path is bounded by several Toronto landmarks, including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, Trinity College, the University of Toronto Faculty of Music, and the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. Philosopher's Walk links the heart of the university campus to the northern edge bounding The Annex, an academic neighborhood where many of the university's faculty and student body reside. Philosopher Ted Honderich described the walk from his experience as a student [The University of Toronto] was in the middle of the city and had good Victorian buildings, and also such necessary pieces of tradition as a Philosopher's Walk, which led out towards an old village enclosed by the growth of Toronto. The village had not yet been smartened up, and only those academics so supremely rational as to want to walk to work lived in it. The Alexandra Gates at the northern entrance to the path were constructed at the corner of Bloor Street and Avenue Road in 1901, at the instigation of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, and to commemorate the visit of Prince George, Duke of Cornwall (later King George V), and Mary, Duchess of Cornwall (later Queen Mary), that year. The letters on each post — E and A — stand for Edward and Alexandra, the reigning King and Queen at the time. When Avenue Road was widened in 1960, the gates were moved to the head of Philosopher's Walk. In recognition of the royal visit, a plaque at the site reads "To commemorate the visit of T.R.H The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York Oct. 10th 1901". The small amphitheater on the walk was built around 2010. (en)
  • 哲学家小径(Philosopher's Walk)是加拿大多伦多一条风景优美的小径,位于多伦多大学市中心校区的校园内。这条小径为南北走向,沿着已经被埋入地下的Taddle溪延伸。哲学家小径沿途有多伦多的几个标志性建筑,如皇家安大略博物馆、皇家音乐学院和三一學院(Trinity College)。 哲学家小径北端的亚历山德拉门最初于1901年建于布魯亞街(Bloor Street)和阿梵奴道(Avenue Road)街角,纪念威尔士亲王、康沃尔公爵乔治和夫人玛丽的来访。E和A两个字母分别代表当时的国王爱德华七世和王后亚历山德拉。1960年阿梵奴道拓宽时,该门被移到哲学家小径。 (zh)
