Walden is an American book written by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance. It details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period. Civil Disobedience is an essay by Thoreau. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War. Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi was impressed by Thoreau's arguments. American civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was also influenced by this essay. [mehr]

In seinen brillanten Essays hat der amerikanische Philosoph Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) das Ethos eines heroischen Individualismus entfaltet. Emersons unerschütterlicher Glaube an die Macht des Individuums führte ihn zu entsprechenden Ansichten über Staat und Politik. Er glaubte, dass eine ideale Regierung nur die Aufgabe habe, die Rechte und das Wachstum des Individuums zu schützen, und dass sie sich letztendlich von allein auflöse, wenn die Verbesserung des menschlichen Charakters durch Liebe und Weisheit den Staat allmählich überflüssig mache. Der Einzelne wäre erst dann für die Demokratie bereit, wenn er völlig unabhängig und ganz auf sich gestellt wäre. Die Intelligenz würde über Geschäfts-interessen und Politik triumphieren, denn der Geist ist das reichste Gut, das man haben kann. Sein Essay Politics (1844) wird in vorliegendem E-Book auszugsweise veröffentlicht, hier erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. [mehr]
