Abstract:
Henry David Thoreau plays a critical role in the development of transcendentalist thought and literature. In Thoreau’s Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, Thoreau reflects upon what labor means. As a parody of Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography, Thoreau expands and negotiates the meaning of labor. Thoreau elaborates the speculative philosophy of intellectual labor and the relationship between work and contemplation, wilderness and civilization. Labor, for Thoreau, has a constant and imperishable moral.

Abstract:
This essay questions a critical consensus about Thoreau's first book, A Week on the Concord an Merrimack Rivers, as a pastoral elegy for his brother and best friend, John. Reading A Week from a geographical perspective, this essay argues that Thoreau anticipated professional geographers by eighty years in conducting a dynamic analysis of the transformation of New England's landscape. Thoreau re-creates through description and narration the appearance and disappearance of the pastoral, the Native-American, and the industrailized landscape along the two rivers. Presenting these ladnscapes in dynamic interrelation with one another against the backdrop of New England's still wild nature, Thoreau historicizes New England's changing topography and thereby criticizes the American pastoral myth about a timeless "golden age" of the "New English Canaan." This reading encourages us to regard Thoreau not only as a private literary artist but also as a scientist and social satirist. This essay also reveals Thoreau's geographic imagination, an important aspect of his mind that has been overlooked so far by Thoreau critics and the general reading public alike.

Abstract:
Thoreau's experiment at Walden Pond reveals two potentially contradictory desires, one of which can be linked to agrarian reform, and the other to ecological knowledge. Thoreau conceived his Walden project in a cultural milieu in which agrarian reform was receiving incrasing attention, and the Walden experiments was, in important ways, an attempt at subsistence farming. But as Thoreau's persistent criticism of the farmers around Concord suggests, he also felt that the economic purpose of farming as it was usually practiced ran counter to his ecological orientation, which stressed the knowledge and preservation of nature, not its economic use. Thoreau's description of his work hoeing beans in "The Bean-Field" chapter of Walden helped to bridge that gap, particularly in its disclourse of the ashes of the "unchronicled nations" who had farmed the area before Thoreau. This act of discovery is one that transcends generational and cultural differences in that it binds Thoreau, through his labor, to a larger pattern of human history. His recognition of the larger historical context of his field work also sharpens his awareness of the natural setting in which the works. Thoreau here exemplifies the way agrarian labor that is not exploitative can function as a mode of spiritual cultivation.

Abstract:
Abstract Henry David Thoreau’s relationship to Greek literature, and Homer’s Iliad in particular, is more often remarked than analysed. This article argues that Thoreau’s engagement with Homer in his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, proves central to the themes of that work highlighted by critics as well as its less-studied formal hybrid of poetry and prose. I show that Thoreau constructs Homer as the poetic ideal in which the perennially renewed life of the natural world becomes accessible to human beings caught in the fatal and unidirectional movement of historical time. Thoreau’s ideas here may track Romantic conceptions of Homer and Greek literature more generally, but Thoreau turns contemporary uncertainty around the person of Homer into reflection on the relationship between personal experience and literary expression of ‘living nature’. This turns out to structure a larger dichotomy between poetry and prose, one in which Thoreau associates the latter with authentic experience and self-expression of an individual human life. In A Week’s engagement with Homer, then, we see Thoreau negotiating not only some core concerns of his writing but also his evolution from aspiring poet to author of the works in prose that ultimately define his career.

Abstract:
Scott Hess, “Walden Pond as Thoreau’s Landscape of Genius” (pp. 224–250) This essay explores how Henry David Thoreau’s identification with Walden Pond was influenced by the nineteenth-century discourse of the literary landscape and by William Wordsworth’s association with the English Lake District in particular. Wordsworth was a central figure for the transatlantic development of the “landscape of genius”—a new form of literary landscape in which the genius of the author, associated with a specific natural landscape, mediated the spiritual power of nature for individual readers and tourists. Wordsworth’s identification of his authorial identity with the Lake District landscape had a formative influence on both Thoreau’s self-conception and his subsequent reception and canonization, as Thoreau and Walden Pond as his landscape of genius entered the canon together. The essay concludes by exploring the ongoing significance of Thoreau’s association with Walden for both his scholarly and popular reputations, including proliferating discourses of “Thoreau Country”; cultural and political disputes over the Concord and Walden landscapes; and invocations of Thoreau as an ecological hero and inspiration for responses to climate change.

Abstract:
Henry David Thoreau has been celebrated for his observation of the natural world. While noting Thoreau's skills of observation in relation to the natural world and his responsiveness to sensory experience, scholars have, however, tended to privilege sight over sound. Even though Thoreau was recognized by musicians such as Charles Ives and John Cage for having an exceptionally fine ear for the symphonies of nature, sound still remains a neglected aspect of Thoreau's Walden; Or, Life in the Woods. This article is a corrective to this status quo, as it reads Walden as a transmedial project in which Thoreau frequently tuned in to the sounds encountered during his sojourn in nature in order to figure the essential parameters of his experiment and to relate to the entire world of experience. The complex soundscape of Walden engenders a multifaceted awareness of modern space, as sounds of nature, sounds of progress, and the clamor of people intersect. Accordingly, this article explores how Thoreau uses a vast array of sounds to relate to the world; how he apprehended, and even appreciated, not only the harmonies of nature, but also dissonance—within nature, as well as between nature, modernity and rurality. In doing so, this article proposes a reading of Thoreau's auditory experience as a reflection on, and negotiation with, a multifaceted world where the pastoral and the industrial coexist.

Abstract:
A presente tese carrega o ônus de afirmar a relevância dos textos de Henry David Thoreau para a filosofia moral. Duas estratégias paralelas foram utilizadas para cumprir a tarefa. A primeira consiste na discussão pormenorizada de um conjunto de autores que apresentaram para Thoreau diferentes visões sobre a moralidade e o papel da filosofia na tecitura de uma vida digna de ser vivida: o Unitarismo de William Ellery Channing, as doutrinas do Scottish Common Sense de Dugald Stewart e Thomas Reid, o utilitarismo teológico de William Paley, o intuicionismo racional dos Platonistas de Cambridge (representados aqui por Ralph Cudworth), Orestes Brownson e Ralph Waldo Emerson – dois dos principais nomes do Transcendentalismo da Nova Inglaterra e Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Victor Cousin e Thomas Carlyle – primeiros intérpretes do Idealismo Alemão para o mundo de língua inglesa. A segunda estratégia articula a reação de Thoreau a essas diferentes posições sobre a moralidade, mostrando como, a partir dessa reação, ele foi capaz de formular um exercício de pensamento moral, cristalizado, emblematicamente, na escritura de Walden. O conceito de “identidade ficcional” foi pensado para capturar as diferentes técnicas utilizadas nesse exercício.
The present thesis carries the burden of asserting the relevance of Henry David Thoreau´s texts for moral philosophy. Two parallel strategies have been used to complete the task. The first is a thorough discussion of a group of authors who presented to Thoreau different views on morality and the role of philosophy in the weaving of a life worthy of being lived: William Ellery Channing´s Unitarianism, the doctrines of the Scottish Common Sense - Dugald Stewart and Thomas Reid, William Paley´s theological utilitarianism, rational intuitionism of Cambridge Platonists (represented here by Ralph Cudworth), Orestes Brownson and Ralph Waldo Emerson - two of the leading names of New England Transcendentalism and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Victor Cousin and Thomas Carlyle - first interpreters of German Idealism to the English-speaking world. The second strategy articulates Thoreau´s reaction to these different positions on morality, showing how, from this reaction, he was able to formulate an exercise in moral thinking, crystallized, emblematically, in the writing of Walden. The concept of "fictional identity" was designed to capture different techniques used in this exercise.

Abstract:
L’écriture de la nature de Thoreau plonge ses racines dans la Nouvelle-Angleterre du XIXe. Nourri de ses valeurs, l’auteur montre comment la vie doit être économisée et non dépensée en vain dans des activités frivoles. Pour se faire, il choisit la voie de la simplicité et de la solitude dans la nature ce qui lui permet de remettre en cause ce que la société considère d’ordinaire comme des vertus. Vivre seul dans la nature sauvage est un moyen anthropocentrique pour accéder au bonheur car la nature apporte à l’homme tout ce dont il a besoin. Ainsi, Thoreau est un naturaliste qui vit dans la nature et la parcourt. Son naturalisme s’éloigne de plus en plus des théories emersoniennes sur l’immanence. Le véritable scientifique sait regarder les animaux en engageant sa subjectivité et peut aller jusqu’à voir dans certains animaux l’incarnation de vertus.Pour nuancer cet anthropocentrisme, Thoreau appelle au zoocentrisme. Celui-ci peut même amener à une cohabitation pacifique entre les espèces. Toutefois, l’écriture et la pratique de Thoreau sont nourries de paradoxes en ce qui concerne la chasse, la pêche et le végétarisme. Pour vivre en harmonie avec la nature, Thoreau se rapproche du modèle indien qui a ses limites. Parmi quelques suggestions, Thoreau est le premier à proposer la création de parcs nationaux
Thoreau’s nature writing is rooted in 19th century New-England. Fed on New-England’s values, the author shows life should be spared and not spent in vain in mundane activities. In order for him to do so, he chooses the way of a life of simplicity and solitude in nature, which enables him to question what society traditionally sees as virtues.Living alone in the wild is an anthropocentric means to reach happiness because nature provides man with all that he needs. Hence, Thoreau is a naturalist who lives in nature and walks in ii. His naturalism becomes more and more estranged from Emerson’s theory on immanence. The real scientist can watch animals using his subjectivity and can go so far as to see in certain animals the incarnation of some virtues.To nuance this anthropomorphist approach, Thoreau advocates zoocentrism. This point of view can even lead to a peaceful cohabitation between species. However, Thoreau’s writing and actions are fed with paradoxes as far as hunting, fishing and being a vegetarian is concerned. To live in harmony with nature, Thoreau gests closer to the Indian model which has limits. Thoreau makes many suggestions, among which the creation of national parks

Abstract:
Notre étude, en se penchant sur l'ensemble de l'oeuvre publiée de Henry David Thoreau, ainsi que des manuscrits non édités, s'attache à identifier les fondements de la pensée politique d'un auteur controversé dont la popularité a simplifié le message. Elle met à jour un écrivain soucieux d'avoir une influence sur son public dans des écrits ciselés, dynamiques et non-conformistes. La pensée politique de Thoreau se révèle non seulement cohérente, ce que nombre de détracteurs ont mis en doute, mais elle pose de manière innovante, cent-cinquante ans après sa mort, les défis auxquels font face nos démocraties : il encourage un renouveau du droit et de l'action citoyenne, notamment par une remise en cause de la rigidité de nos systèmes étatiques et par l'appel à des principes qui commencent seulement à être pris au sérieux, comme le droit de résistance ou les zones de non-droit. Thoreau n'est pourtant hostile ni à l'idée d'association ni à une autorité qui préserve la liberté et la justice, et son oeuvre s'interroge sur ce qui constitue une société vraie. Il reconnaît les avancées du passé et le besoin continuel de faire évoluer nos sociétés. En revenant sur les contours de cette « loi suprême » à laquelle tout doit se conformer, nous signalons de nouveaux parallèles entre la pensée de Thoreau et celle des combattants pour la paix qui ont contribué à sa célébrité
This doctoral dissertation, based on Henry David Thoreau's complete published works, as well as some unedited manuscripts, attempts to identify the foundation of his political thought. A popular author, he has given rise to much controversy. His political rhetoric shows him to be a man concerned with conveying his political and social ideas, which prove to be more consistent than many of his critics have assumed. A hundred and fifty years alter his death, Thoreau innovatively presents us with the challenges our modem democracies are facing. He calls for a new understanding of the law and the possibility of citizens' actions, notably questioning the inflexibility of the State and the acceptance of areas of lawlessness or the right of resistance, principles that critics are only beginning to take seriously. Yet we show that Thoreau is not hostile to the notion of association nor to an authority which would preserve freedom and justice; he actually ponders on what constitutes a « truie society ». Thoreau also recognizes the progress made in the past and the need to still further advance our societies. As we elucidate the limits of this « higher law » which supersedes all, we expose new parallels between Thoreau's political thought and the philosophy of the peace activists who made him famous

Abstract:
Cinquante apres son assassinat, m. K. Gamdhi reste indeniablement l'une des figures politiques et morales les plus marquantes de l'histoire de l'humanite. Homme d'une profondeur quasiment insondable et personnage hors de commun, gandhi etait a la fois un grand sage et un grand politicien. Au contraire des vieux sages indiens, gandhi considerait la politique comme une dimension de la vie humaine a trouvers laquelle il fallait essayer d'atteindre ce qu'il appelait "l'esprit de verite". La vision politique de gandhi se presente donc comme un nouvelle attitude dans la pensee politique de l'indemoderne. En verite l'attitude de gandhi en ce domaine releve strictement de son evolution spirituelle. On doit rappeler qu'il a ete profondement marque pas d'autres sources intellectuelles que la pensee indienne et notamment par trois grands penseurs du xixe siecle: ruskin, thoreau et tolstoi. Si le royaum de dieu est en vous de tolstoi permet a gandhi de vivifier sa passion pour la parole du christ et de raffermir sa foi en l'ahimsa, unto this last de ruskin, lui offre une nouvelle vision pratique de la vie de la communaute. Quant a h. D. Thoreau, il consolide intellectuellement la valeur de satyagraha inaugure par gandhi en afrique du sud
Mahatma gandhi was one of those rare human beings who was simultaneously a theoretician and practicioner of non-violence. Gandhi possessed an inner conviction that non-violence was not only one of the key words of his own century but of centuries still to come. It is in this sense that his ideas on non-violence and tolerance transcend the context of india itself, even though these ideas were initially conceived in relation to india's independence and future. Nevertheless, in spite of what may seem obvious, it is no mere truism to state that gandhi would not have been gandhi had he not been born indian. But at the same time, gandhi also sought support for his ideas of tolerance and non-violence in other cultures. In all likelihood, he was deeply influenced by three thinkers of the west: thoreau, ruskin andtolstoy. It was leo tolstoy who exerted the greatest influence on gandhi's thought through his concept of love. Thoreau's book, on the duty of civil disobedience provided gandhi with a solid foundation for his satyagraha in south africa. And last but not least, ruskin awakened gandhi's conscience on the idea of community and simplicity

Abstract:
The past several years have seen increased awareness of environmental degradation, climate change, and energy concernsâ and with good reason; addressing the problem of sustainability is vital if American culture is to both persist and thrive. Because this issue affects all aspects of our lives, it can easily seem overwhelming, encouraging the belief that solutions to these problems lie beyond the scope of individual action. This study seeks to identify legitimate personal responses one can make to issues of sustainability. I approach this subject with an eye toward answering a simple series of questions: Where are we?; How did we get here?; Where are we going?; Is that where we want to go? I briefly investigate the history of the idea of progress, focusing especially on our cultureâ s fascination with and embrace of technological progress. Following this investigation, I examine two works that offer critiques of progress: Thoreauâ s classic text, Walden, and Wendell Berryâ s, The Unsettling of America. These texts are chosen for a few reasons. First, a clear tradition of critical inquiry can be traced from Thoreau to Berry. Second, the historical distance between these authors makes a comparison of their work particularly illuminating. Though they are citizens of the same country, speak the same language, and ask similar questions, each author writes in response to different worldsâ Thoreauâ s just beginning to embrace industrial capitalism and technological progress, and Berryâ s very much the product of that embrace. Most importantly, however, both authors focus on individual action and responsibility.

This chapter addresses transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau's poetry. Thoreau wanted to deal with reality. More than walking on the earth and mud and muck, he said he must have that. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that Thoreau's poems were the best poems to come out of the American forest. However, they come out of many things: the pressure on Thoreau to be a pastoral poet. This was a pastoral strip made in the attempt to make a civilized strip of America. He was reaching for something beyond him as we reach for something beyond us. The chapter then looks at civilized ways of dealing with political struggle.

Abstract:
Though best known as a literary figure, Henry Thoreau showed a lasting interest in science. He read widely in the scientific literature of his day and published one the first scholarly discussions on forest succession. In fact, some historians rate Thoreau as one of the founders of the modern science of ecology. At the same time, Thoreau often lamented science’s tendency to kill poetry. Scientific writings coupled with his own careful observations often revealed life to him, but in other ways rendered nature lifeless. Modern-day Thoreauvians are also aware that science has largely become a tool for control and increased consumption, rather than for the appreciation and protection of wild nature. This paper explores some of Thoreau’s reflections on science and "system," and presents his view of the proper role of science in our lives. As will become clear, Thoreau’s worries are occasioned by his own scientific endeavors. His responses to science’s insufficiencies are reformist, suggesting ways to improve and supplement science rather than discard it.

Abstract:
Abstract Thoreau was born on his maternal grandmother’s farm, on verginia Road, in Concord, Massachusetts, on July 12, 1817, the third child of John and Cynthia (Dunbar) Thoreau. On October he was christened David Henry Thoreau, named after an uncle who had died in Concord in July. Not until the mid-1830s did he identify himself as Henry David Thoreau. Like much else about this private man, so candid about his principles yet guarded about himself, the reason for the change of name is unclear. Perhaps Thoreau switched his first and middle names to affirm a measure of independence from his family and to signify the new person he had become through his Harvard education and friendships with Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalists. Some of his Concord neighbors saw his change of name as rebellious and downright foolish. But “Henry” was what Thoreau’s family had called him since birth, and there is no evidence that they objected to his decision.

Abstract:
This paper will look at the historical and contemporary narratives behind urban farming. It will start with the transcendentalists (for this short paper limited to Thoreau) and their manner of seeing in the return to the land the capacity for social reform, and end with an examination of the ideas that have not only blurred the distinction between the urban and the rural, but that in doing so have spawned a new awareness and appreciation in local culture, including local food and slow food movements. Today community gardens across the United States are busy forging relations with nearby outfits, including restaurants and schools, serving as stewards of social, economic and intellectual growth.

Abstract:
This article is a reflection based on the review of the book “La invention de la Naturaleza: El nuevo mundo de Alexander Von Humboldt'' by Andrea Wulf. The text shows that Humboldt was the first scientist to develop a new vision of the world and that his publication “El ensayo sobre la geografía de las plantas” was the first ecologist book. In 1800 he was the first scientist to mention human-caused climate change and that it could have unforeseeable consequences for future generations. His important influence on the greatest thinkers, artists and scientists of the time, such as: Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, among others, shows the need to know the path of the scientist in the 19th century and reflect on the lack of interest, knowledge and firm sustainability actions in the 20th and 21st centuries in which the media shows year after year the action of nature through rains, landslides causing “destruction”. As a result, the article points out the errors in society's perception of the effects of human beings on the environment.

Abstract:
Background: Synchronised cardioversion (SC) is used to terminate tachycardic arrhythmia by applying electric current to the thorax. SC is synchronised to the R wave of the cardiac cycle and ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) can occur if an electrical shock is provided in a nonsynchronised way. Case Presentation: Here we present a case of a 66-year-old man who had elective cardioversion for atrial fibrillation worsened by severe left ventricular impairment. A manual defibrillator was used for the cardioversion, which, after the first synchronised shock, reverted to defibrillator mode. An unsynchronised shock was administered and induced VT, which was reverted to sinus rhythm with a defibrillation shock. Conclusion: When using manual defibrillator for SC, the machine needs to be set to a synchronised mode. The synchronisation to the R wave needs to be checked before every shock.
