About The Philosophy of Henry Thoreau: Ethics, Politics, and Nature

Henry Thoreau is widely considered to be one of the greatest nature writers, among whose best-known works are Walden and Walking. In this book, however, Lester Hunt shows that his writings have a compelling philosophical dimension as well.One obstacle to seeing the philosophical dimension of Thoreau’s writings is that he seldom seems to argue for his ideas the way other philosophers do. By means of features such as narratives, jokes, questions, and paradoxes, he entices the reader to recognize possibilities previously unknown and unexplored. He believes he is appealing to the reader’s own inner voice, which in some contexts he calls “the conscience,” and in others “one’s genius.” He holds that one’s authentic inner voice is the true guide in life.In The Philosophy of Henry Thoreau, we see that Thoreau’s intellect leads him to certain distinctive theories: an intuitionist epistemology, a heroic ethics, a politics that is fundamentally individualist and anarchist and, finally, a sort of secular religion in which nature is pre-eminent.
