• W2336403642 abstract "Abstract: Despite the importance of his social and political thoughts, Henry David Thoreau is mostly studied as a writer of Transcendentalism and nature writings. Actually, Thoreau expresses many important ideas on social and political problems in his works. Through reading Thoreau's main political writings, this essay attempts to comment on his social and political thoughts from its four constitutive aspects, i.e., self-reform as the basis of social reform, strategies and forms of passive resistance, critique of the division of labor and emphasis on the importance of action. It argues that the significance of Thoreau's social and political thoughts lies in his insight in seeing the consistent relationship between the individual self -reform and social justice and political democracy. In other words, both individual and social reforms are important means in correcting social injustice and nourishing political democracy. Key words: Thoreau, self-reform, social reform, passive resistance, division of labor Resume: Malgre l'importance de sa pensee sociale et politique, Henry David Thoreau est surtout etudie comme un ecrivain de Transcendantalisme et de Litterature naturelle. Effectivement, Thoreau exprime beaucoupe d'idees importantes sur des problemes sociaux et politiques dans ses oeuvres. Par la lecture des principales oeuvres politiques de Thoreau, cet essai tente de commenter sur les 4 aspects constitutifs, c'est-a-dire la reforme du soi comme la base de la reforme sociale, strategies et formes de la resistance passive, critiques sur la division du travail et accentuation sur l'importance de l'action. Il demontre que la signification de sa penee socoale et politique existe dans sa perspicacite de voir la relation consistante entre la reforme du soi de l'individu, la justice sociale et la democratie politique. Autrement dit, les reformes individuelles et sociales sont toutes importantes dans la correction de l'injustice sociale et dans la formation de la democratie politique. Mots-Cles: Thoreau, reforme du soir, reforme sociale, resistance passive, division du travail INTRODUCTION Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) has mostly been approached as a literary artist, a naturalist, a transcendentalist, whose scholarly interpretation runs like this: as a man celebrating natural beauty and transcendental individualism; as the initiator of the genre of nature writing; as a literary artist in the American Renaissance; the formal and stylistic studies of his individual texts and so on. Relatively speaking, Thoreau's social and political thoughts have received less critical attention. Nancy L. Rosenblum has mentioned this point, Except for a surge of interest in the 1960s in Thoreau as a social critic and advocate of civil disobedience, cultural studies have eclipsed his political thought. ( Rosenblum xiii ) Thoreau mentions in Walden moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep. Actually, his whole life and all of his works deal with reform of all kinds - personal, social, political and religious. Scholars have argued about his thoughts of social reform. Some maintained that his first concern was not for society but for the individual and his strong emphasis upon self-reform unavoidably ignored the larger and collective dimension of social reform. (Meltzer xi) Others even concluded that Thoreau was no social reformer because he was occasionally pressed by public events and was drawn forth to deliver jeremiads on the evil of his times; insisting that he had other more important affairs to attend to. (Gougeon 194) The above arguments look plausible because Thoreau seems to be more intent on individual self-reform rather than aiming directly at the social reforms. However, reading of Thoreau's main political texts reveals that his social and political thoughts are more concerned with the relationship between the individual and the State, and the social reform is mainly realized through the individual self-reform. …" @default.
