Henry David Thoreau

Henri Dejvid Toro (1856)

Henry David Thoreau (12.7., 1817 – 6.5., 1862; rođen kao David Henry Thoreau) bio je američki pisac, prirodoslovac, transcedentalist, borac protiv poreza, kritičar razvoja i filozof najpoznatiji po knjizi Walden, meditacijama na temu jednostavnog života u prirodnom okružju, te eseju, Građanski neposluh, pozivu za otpor građanskoj vlasti kao izraz protivljenju nepravednoj državi.

Thoreauve knjige, članci, eseji, dnevnici i pjesme zajedno tvore 20 tomova. Među njegovim najpoznatijim djelima se navode prirodoslovne knjige i filozofija u kojoj je predvidio metode i dostignuća ekologije i ambijentalne historije, dva izvora današnjeg ambijentalizma.

Thoreau je cijelog života bio abolicionist, koji je u svojim predavanjima napadao Zakono o odbjeglim robovima istovremeno hvaleći djela Wendella Phillipsa i braneći abolicionista Johna Browna. Thoreauova folozofija nenasilnog otpora je utjecala na doktrinu i praksu kasnijih velikih ličnosti kao što su Lav Tolstoj, Mohandas K. Gandhi i Martin Luther King, Jr.
