HENRY DAVID THOREAU "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." W ith these words Henry David Thoreau declared the purpose of his Walden experiment, the two years he spent in the Concord woods testing his belief in the ability of man to transcend his senses and attain a higher understanding of life. By the shores of Walden Pond where Thoreau lived from the land, he meditated, wrote poetry, and developed a philosophy of pacifism and a reverence for all living things that profoundly influenced 19th and 20th century thought. A rendering of Thoreau's cabin as it stood by Walden Pond from 1845-1847. Concord-born poet, philosopher, naturalist, essayist and educator, Thoreau represents one of the most authentic and individualist voices in all American thought. "No truer American ever lived," wrote Emerson of his friend. Thoreau was graduated from Harvard in 1837 and returned to his hometown in search of an occupation. Befriended by Emerson, who appreciated his purity and originality of thought and deed, Thoreau gave his first lecture before the Concord Lyceum in 1838, embarked with his brother John in 1839 on his first fluvial excursion along the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, gathering material for his later book, and published poetry and essayis in THE DIAL in 1840-1842.

Definitions Defining Transcendentalism In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson , in his 1842 lecture The Transcendentalist "The Transcendentalist adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspiration, and in ecstasy. He wishes that the spiritual principle should be suffered to demonstrate itself to the end, in all possible applications to the state of man, without the admission of anything unspiritual; that is, anything positive, dogmatic, personal. Thus, the spiritual measure of inspiration is the depth of the thought, and never, who said it? And so he resists all attempts to palm other rules and measures on the spirit than its own.... "It is well known to most of my audience, that the Idealism of the present day acquired the name of Transcendental, from the use of that term by Immanuel Kant, of Konigsberg, who replied to the skeptical philosophy of Locke, which insisted that there was nothing in the intellect which was not previously in the experience of the senses, by showing that there was a very important class of ideas, or imperative forms, which did not come by experience, but through which experience was acquired; that these were intuitions of the mind itself; and he denominated them Transcendental forms. The extraordinary profoundness and precision of that man's thinking have given vogue to his nomenclature, in Europe and America, to that extent, that whatever belongs to the class of intuitive thought, is popularly called at the present day Transcendental...."

You’d be forced to bring only the barest of necessities, and debate what few belongings you simply couldn’t live without. Do You Need Coffee? If you think that Henry David Thoreau never pondered the significance of coffee during his famed stay at Walden Pond, think again. Historians agree that when Thoreau moved into his Walden home in 1845, there were not yet any Starbucks franchises in Concord, Massachusetts. Yet coffee makes a surprising number of appearances in Walden, and Thoreau has plenty to say on the subject. Many of his Concord neighbors were drinking it, and today’s coffee lover might be surprised how familiar a role coffee played in the lives of Concordians a century and a half ago.

Biography of Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) Henry David Thoreau was born on July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts. He was the son of John and Cynthia Thoreau, and the third of four children. Out of his two sisters and a brother, Helen was the oldest sister, John Thoreau Jr. was Henry's older brother and Sophia was the younger sister. The house they were born in belonged to his maternal grandmother and is located on the outskirts of Concord on Virginia Road. Henry was named after his paternal uncle, David Thoreau, who died just six weeks after Henry was born. However, his legal name is not Henry David Thoreau but rather 'David Henry Thoreau'. It wasn't until after Thoreau had graduated from Harvard College that he unilaterally changed his name from David Henry to 'Henry David' Thoreau. Not out of character, he never bothered to petition the state legislature to have his name legally and officially changed. Henry spent the majority of his time walking in and around the town of Concord, although he did make a few journeys to other places. Occasionally he would be found sauntering and conversing with his mentor and friend

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History THOREAU, HENRY DAVID , writer. Thoreau was of French Huguenot and Scottish ancestry, but accented his name on the first syllable. He was educated at Concord Academy and Harvard College, from which he graduated in 1837. He taught school, lectured, served as surveyor for the town of Concord, did odd jobs, worked as Ralph Waldo Emerson's handyman, and helped him edit the Dial, for which he wrote extensively. His major business always was writing undistinguished poetry and superb prose (most of it in his journal). Today he stands in the front rank of the classical American writers. From July 4, 1845, to September 6, 1847, he lived in a cabin he had built near Walden Pond, and during the summer of 1846 he spent a night in jail because of his refusal to pay taxes as a protest against slavery and the Mexican War. His essay "Civil Disobedience" influenced both Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. His early reputation was as a nature writer, but he declined membership in a scientific society, saying he was "a mystic, a transcendentalist, and a natural philosopher to boot." He accumulated a vast amount of Indian data but died without completing the "Kalender" that he had designed as a total, all-comprehending picture of life. "I went to the woods," he wrote, "because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." His book about his life at Walden Pond is not a literal account but, rather, an elaborately structured work of art. In 1927 Vernon Louis Parrington inaugurated a new phase of Thoreau studies by calling him a "transcendental economist," perceiving clearly that his essential purpose was "to order life so that the primary things should not be lost amid the superfluities."

78. The Walden Mailing List Mailing list (waldenlist) dedicated to henry david thoreau. http://www.mcelhearn.com/thoreau/waldenlist.html

The Walden Mailing List WALDEN is a mailing list dedicated to Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 to May 6, 1862). It is named after his best known work, Walden, a recounting of a period of time he spent living "deliberately" next to Walden Pond, outside of Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau was a writer and philosopher, as well as an activist. As he wrote, in Walden, "it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left." We offer the list as a place to discuss: If there is enough interest we will form an online reading group to discuss in detail one of Thoreau's works. This is not to be a scholarly list, discussing only details of Thoreau's writing, but a thinking list, where the enduring ideas he presented can be discussed, and examined. For example, the initiator of this list, Kirk McElhearn, and the "list facilitator" Brian Thomas (on whose internet server the list resides) have begun, while working on this statement of purpose, a friendly discussion, about to what extent Thoreau was a Luddite "One who opposes technical or technological change." To clinch his argument Kirk quoted Thoreau from Walden: "For my part, I could easily do without the post-office. I think that there are very few important communications made through it. To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life... that were worth the postage."
