This study addresses the philosophical question, "What is human dignity?", by focusing on the importance for humans to contemplate the "consciousness of walking"（Aruku/Ho）. We examined this importance by classifying it into the following three categories:
1. The acquisition of creativity（e.g., intelligence（reason）, art） resulting from the emergence of upright bipedal locomotion ．
2. The assertion of the essence of the human way of life through walking as expressed by philosophers and writers throughout history.
3. The potential for world peace that can be realized through humanity's acquisition of bipedal upright locomotion.
The results suggested that the "consciousness of walking" is a concept that encompasses human behavioral patterns, aesthetics, and ultimately, ethical attitudes, and is the bedrock upon which "culture and civilization" have been accumulated.
In other words, for humanity to reconsider the "consciousness of walking" is to reconfirm the philosophical question, "What is human dignity?". It is believed that this ultimately holds the potential to become the theoretical foundation supporting "coexistence, co-prosperity,culture, and civilization"as a common ideology for humankind.
