Civil Disobedience Henry David Thoreau - 1849 - with annotated text Thoreau Reader: Home Desobediencia Civil While Walden can be applied to almost anyone's life, "Civil Disobedience" is like a venerated architectural landmark: it is preserved and admired, and sometimes visited, but for most of us there are not many occasions when it can actually be used. Still, although seldom mentioned without references to Gandhi and King, "Civil Disobedience" has more history than many suspect. In the 1940's it was read by the Danish resistance, in the 1950's it was cherished by people who opposed McCarthyism, in the 1960's it was influential in the struggle against South African apartheid, and in the 1970's it was discovered by a new generation of anti-war activists. The lesson learned from all this experience is that Thoreau's ideas really do work, just as he imagined they would.

Dan Krotz Wednesday, April 18, 2007 For a few days after a lecture on Ralph Waldo Emerson at the Universalist Church last month, there was a brief local run on books by the Transcendentalists, chiefly Emerson, but also Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Nathaniel Hawthorne et al. With the exception of Hawthorne, I have enjoyed these writers less and less over time. It is probable that my initial infatuation had to do with the time and place of my exposure to them. It was in the 60sof courseand the transcendental urgency to "go beyond the senses" and its emphasis on individuality and an intuitive spirituality had a kind of rock and roll state of mind about it that was a lot of fun. It didn't hurt that everybody was at least one toke over the line. In his lecture in opposition to the Mexican War ("Resistance to Civil Government," later titled "Civil Disobedience") Thoreau wrote, "Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, or shall we obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them all at once? Men under a government such as this think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that if they should resist the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it always crucify Christ and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?"

Associated with the Concord-based literary movement called New England Transcendentalism, he embraced the Transcendentalist belief in the universality of creation and the primacy of personal insight and experience. Thoreau's advocacy of simple, principled living remains compelling, while his writings on the relationship between people and the environment helped define the nature essay. After graduating from Harvard in 1837, Thoreau held a series of odd jobs. Encouraged by Concord neighbor and friend

In 1839 he made the excursion the record of which he in 1845 published as A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers . Two years later, in 1841, he began a residence in the household of Emerson, which lasted for two years, when he assisted in conducting the Dial , and in 1845, after some teaching in New York, he retired to a hut near the solitary Walden Pond to write his Week on the Concord , etc. Later works were Walden (1854), and The Maine Woods (1864), and Cape Cod (1865), accounts of excursions and observations, both published after his death. Thoreau was an enthusiast in the anti-slavery cause, the triumph of which, however, he did not live to see, as he died on May 6, 1862, when the war was still in its earlier stages.

The book is carefully organized with one chapter given to each day of a week - experiences of two weeks condensed in one. It is an excellent celebration of nature. "Resistance to Civil Government" also known as "Civil Disobedience" (1849) For failing to pay poll tax, Thoreau was sent to jail. The famous and influential essay is the result of that gesture. Its message is simple and daring - he advocates "actions through principles." If the demands of a government or a society are contrary to an individual's conscience, it is his/her duty to reject them. Upholding moral law as opposed to social law "divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine." Inspired by Thoreau's message, Mahatma Gandhi organized a massive resistance of Indians against the British occupation of India. Thoreau's words have also inspired the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the peace marchers and the numerous conscientious-objectors to the Vietnam war.
