Henry David Thoreau is very well known for his book, Walden, which was published in 1854. Thoreau was born as David Henry Thoreau in Concord, Massachusetts on July 12, 1817. His parents were John Thoreau, who was a pencil maker, and Cynthia Dunbar. He had three siblings: an older sister named Helen, an older brother named John Jr. and a younger sister named Sophia. Thoreau was originally named after his uncle David. After college, he changed his name to Henry David, although he didn't petition for a formal name change. His maternal grandfather, Asa Dunbar led the Butter Rebellion at Harvard College in 1766. Thoreau attended college at Harvard from 1833 until 1837. After he graduated in 1837, he worked at a Concord public school and quit only a few weeks after he started because he didn't want to take part in corporal punishment to the students. 1938, Thoreau and his brother John opened a school. At their school, the children's education included nature walks. In 1942, the school closed because Thoreau's brother John cut himself while shaving and contracted tetanus. John died shortly after, in Henry's arms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Walden and Civil Disobedience" is a collection that includes two of the works of the famous American writer Henry David Thoreau. "Walden", perhaps Thoreau's most famous work, was published in 1854. Originally published under the title, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods", the novel experienced some success after it's release but went out of print after five short years only having sold around 2,000 copies. However, after Thoreau's death in 1862, the book was re-printed and enjoyed more critical acclaim. Many scholars now praise it as an American classic. The book is a memoir of Thoreau's time living in the woods near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau lived for two years and two months by himself in the woods and set out to live simply and meagerly off of the land and Walden Pond, the body of water that was near his cabin. The novel details his journey of self-discovery, his thoughts on carefully managing finances and his musings on society as a whole. "Civil Disobedience" is a short essay that was originally published in 1849 under the title, "Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience)". The essay details Thoreau's views on the individual's obligation to his conscience over the laws of the government. The essay deals particularly with Thoreau's dislike of slavery and the Mexican-American war.
Book Synopsis Conscience and Conviction by : Kimberley Brownlee
Download or read book Conscience and Conviction written by Kimberley Brownlee and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows that civil disobedience is generally more defensible than private conscientious objection. Part I explores the morality of conviction and conscience. Each of these concepts informs a distinct argument for civil disobedience. The conviction argument begins with the communicative principle of conscientiousness (CPC). According to the CPC, having a conscientious moral conviction means not just acting consistently with our beliefs and judging ourselves and others by a common moral standard. It also means not seeking to evade the consequences of our beliefs and being willing to communicate them to others. The conviction argument shows that, as a constrained, communicative practice, civil disobedience has a better claim than private objection does to the protections that liberal societies give to conscientious dissent. This view reverses the standard liberal picture which sees private 'conscientious' objection as a modest act of personal belief and civil disobedience as a strategic, undemocratic act whose costs are only sometimes worth bearing. The conscience argument is narrower and shows that genuinely morally responsive civil disobedience honours the best of our moral responsibilities and is protected by a duty-based moral right of conscience. Part II translates the conviction argument and conscience argument into two legal defences. The first is a demands-of-conviction defence. The second is a necessity defence. Both of these defences apply more readily to civil disobedience than to private disobedience. Part II also examines lawful punishment, showing that, even when punishment is justifiable, civil disobedients have a moral right not to be punished. Oxford Legal Philosophy publishes the best new work in philosophically-oriented legal theory. It commissions and solicits monographs in all branches of the subject, including works on philosophical issues in all areas of public and private law, and in the national, transnational, and international realms; studies of the nature of law, legal institutions, and legal reasoning; treatments of problems in political morality as they bear on law; and explorations in the nature and development of legal philosophy itself. The series represents diverse traditions of thought but always with an emphasis on rigour and originality. It sets the standard in contemporary jurisprudence.

Thoreau was prompted in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).In 1848, Thoreau gave lectures on the Concord Lyceum entitled "The Rights and Duties of the Individual in relation to Government. This formed the premise for his essay, which turned into first published beneath the identify Resistance to Civil Government in an 1849 anthology by means of Elizabeth Peabody called An Esthetic Papers. The latter name outstanding Thoreau's application from that of the "non-resistants" (anarcho-pacifists) who were expressing similar views.

This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory and practice of civil disobedience has once again taken on import, given recent events. Considering widespread dissatisfaction with normal political mechanisms, even in well-established liberal democracies, civil disobedience remains hugely important, as a growing number of individuals and groups pursue political action. 'Digital disobedients', Black Lives Matter protestors, Extinction Rebellion climate change activists, Hong Kong activists resisting the PRC's authoritarian clampdown...all have practiced civil disobedience. In this Companion, an interdisciplinary group of scholars reconsiders civil disobedience from many perspectives. Whether or not civil disobedience works, and what is at stake when protestors describe their acts as civil disobedience, is systematically examined, as are the legacies and impact of Henry Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King.
