1264:. The first chapter deals with a lot of the issues being discussed here and on the anarchism pages. Some quotes of interest in the first chapter: "Anarchism shares with liberalism a radical commitment to individual freedom while rejecting liberalism's competitive property relations." "Historically, anarchism has often been conceptualized as being most closely related to Marxism. This is due, in part, to the fact that many prominent anarchists share with the Marxists a rejection of private property and an espousal of communist economic relations." "Anarchism has more in common with other individualist philosophies like liberalism than is generally recognized many statements made by the liberal John Stewart Mill, for instance, contain a spirit of existential individualism ("existential individualism" is the term Brown uses to describe the form of individualism anarchism advocates--individual freedom unrestrained by authority and seen as an end in and of itself, which she contrasts to "instrumental individualism", or the form of individualism where individuals use others to further their own self-interest, which would use individualism as a means to an end)." "However, liberals are not anarchists; while they assert the importance of individual freedom and autonomy, liberals also maintain that the human individual is a competitive owner of private property." Brown says that liberalism contains elements of existential and instrumental anarchism, which makes it contradict itself, since according to Brown, existential individualism and instrumental individualism cannot coexist. She later says "the fact that liberalism and anarchism share common existential individualistic views explains why certain passages in liberal thought sound decidedly anarchistic. However, liberals also subscribe to an individiualism that is instrumental while anarchist political philosophy stands opposed to instrumental competitive values; for the anarchist, 'freedom can exist only in a society where there is no compulsion of any kind," including the compulsion that accompanies property relations." All of these quotes are in the first chapter in case you want to look them up. 1532:
merely links to an essay which describe the essay "Civil Disobedience" as anarchist among other things, but only in passing again. The seventh source doesn't say anything about Thoreau being an anarchist. The eighth is a bunch of links to various anarchist related articles including "Civil Disobedience", but doesn't say Thoreau was an anarchist. The ninth appears to be a personal website, and is devoted largely to individualist anarchism, but I'll be nice and give it to you anyways. The tenth is a bunch of quick point-counter point things on various topics related to the title of "GANDHI, KING, AND THOREAU: ANARCHISM, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, AND NON-VIOLENCE". Gee, Gandhi, just like I mentioned above. They have a section that says "Is Thoreau an Anarchist" with arguments for it, and a section that says "Thoreau Not an Anarchist" with arguments for that. This search is not looking to good for you--it surely isn't 125,000 sources that back up your claim. And my guess is that the further I go into the search results, the more incoherent and unrelated they'll be (that's how google usually works). As for Jesus being an anarchist or not, would you be willing to go to the article on Jesus and say in the first sentence that he was an anarachist? Good luck! Although the case can be made (relatively well I think), there are virtually no reliable and neutral sources that would say that I think. Most of them would all be partisan. There are also people who try to say he was a communist, socialist or capitalist (hell,
3463:, which I had referenced, along with a reference detailing all this (Ivaska) (After flippant deletions, sometimes one wonders why one bothers.) Initially Harding copped some flak, but his paper has been widely cited and I don't think its basic conclusion that Thoreau was homoerotic in his orientation (or however you want to phrase it) has been disputed by any significant scholar in the last two decades. But I'm not going to plow through 100 academic papers to prove that point. Maybe someone else has the energy. Since then has been a slow opening up of the discussion, but naturally, with no consensus on the degree of the 'homoeroticism' - that's where academic discussion is now and, and the degree to which it shaped his thought and writing. In short: the view of his 'homoeroticism' has moved from being non-existent, to being something anomalous, to being something implicit. Thoreau's journals and other writings were also long incomplete in their published form, and now that the full editions are being republished it is also helping reassessment. So of course, his sexuality should be referenced in the article. This has been long winded, but probably necessary given it can be a radioactive issue, and for those unaware of it, the progression of academic thought has been significant. I have restored the entry, while making further hopefully informative and *balanced* improvements to it. The revised entry is as follows: 3455:(2011), p473-4. (The section didn't appear in the original edition.) He begins by writing: "The most controversial studies about Thoreau in recent years are those concerned with his sexuality. Some, I know, feel that such studies are an intrusion in the privacy of the subject's life". This would be comical if it wasn't so sad. Harding then states that a reviewer took him to task for writing "as if Sigmund Freud had never existed" and confesses "that was done intentionally on my part". You can't make this up. Feeling forced to finally address the issue by "recent studies of homoeroticism in Thoreau" and acknowledging "pioneer" "Jonathan Katz" whose Gay American History I have referenced, he admits "I have been convinced that there is evidence of a strong homoerotic element in Thoreau's personality", but "I should add that to the best of my knowledge no factual evidence of sexual activity on Thoreau's part has been uncovered." Phew! It's easy to mock Harding's timidity, but one has to appreciate that until recently your academic career could actually see you marginalised over such an issue. (e.g. see 249:
it. I did not see why the schoolmaster should be taxed to support the priest, and not the priest the schoolmaster: for I was not the State's schoolmaster, but I supported myself by voluntary subscription. I did not see why the lyceum should not present its tax-bill, and have the State to back its demand, as well as the Church. However, at the request of the selectmen, I condescended to make some such statement as this in writing:—"Know all men by these presents, that I, Henry Thoreau, do not wish to be regarded as a member of any incorporated society which I have not joined." This I gave to the town clerk; and he has it. The State, having thus learned that I did not wish to be regarded as a member of that church, has never made a like demand on me since; though it said that it must adhere to its original presumption that time. If I had known how to name them, I should then have signed off in detail from all the societies which I never signed on to; but I did not know where to find a complete list.

early, dismissed at the time, and now have grown to seem almost clairvoyant. Putting labels on him like vegetarian, environmentalist, or anarchist is therefore nearly always apocryphal. Those are later ideas which we may trace back to his influence, but it's an exaggeration to draw him into a particular camp--he hated being more than a party of one! So I altered the statement about anarchism to indicate that he advocated limited government, not its abolition. Although these subjects have not yet entered the article, there are debates about his religion and sexual orientation. He was eclectic, flexible, and inconsistent about his ideas. I hope we can respect that (to me) delightful variety and eccentricity and not try to box him in too tightly. I base this judgement on four decades of work as a Thoreau scholar, and as the former editor of the PUP edition of his Writings. Thanks, WH --28 Dec 2006
2451:: "Su obra más representativa es Walden, aparecida en 1854, aunque redactada entre 1845 y 1847, cuando Thoreau decide instalarse en el aislamiento de una cabaña en el bosque, y vivir en íntimo contacto con la naturaleza, en una vida de soledad y sobriedad. De esta experiencia, su filosofía trata de transmitirnos la idea que resulta necesario un retorno respetuoso a la naturaleza, y que la felicidad es sobre todo fruto de la riqueza interior y de la armonía de los individuos con el entorno natural. Muchos han visto en Thoreau a uno de los precursores del ecologismo y del anarquismo primitivista representado en la actualidad por Jonh Zerzan. Para George Woodcock(8), esta actitud puede estar también motivada por una cierta idea de resistencia al progreso y de rechazo al materialismo creciente que caracteriza la sociedad norteamericana de mediados de siglo XIX." 2437:: "Su obra más representativa es Walden, aparecida en 1854, aunque redactada entre 1845 y 1847, cuando Thoreau decide instalarse en el aislamiento de una cabaña en el bosque, y vivir en íntimo contacto con la naturaleza, en una vida de soledad y sobriedad.

that. And in Emerson's "Nature," he writes of becoming the "transparent eyeball," one of the most famous images in Transcendental thought. He would enter the woods and "see all and be all." Transcendentalism has less to do with any Christian theology and more with "communing with the Over-Soul." A theological lineage exists from Calvinism to Unitarianism to Transcendentalism, surely, but Emerson's thought held Transcendentalism as the infinite telos of the divine. That said, both Emerson's and Thoreau's writings reveal many instances where actually realizing and experiencing the Transcendental existence becomes problematic.

and neutral source say he wasn't an anarchist, and I've seen many that have. As for Stirner, neutral and reliable sources usually do label him as an anarchist, which can't be said for Thoreau. I'm not arguing whether or not Thoreau was an anarchist--as I said I don't feel qualified to do so. I am arguing that you seem to be pushing a minority position that is not backed up by neutral or reliable sources. All of them are biased and have something to gain by appropriating Thoreau, a great American hero, as an anarchist. Same can be said of Jesus, Gandhi or (no god forbid) Jefferson.
1319:
tedious and predictable sounding Brown, you might do better to read Thoreau. I am finding 100s of thousands of references to Thoreau as an anarchist. But I doubt you will accept any of them because you don't want to. Knowledge (XXG) is supposedly an encyclopedia that bases what it says on what the world accepts as real. Well the world, apparantly, says that Thoreau was an anarchist. And while we're at it, Jesus was talking about sharing property, in Book of Matthew, 2000 years ago. I think that beats Karl Marx by just a few years.

All of these references could be improved by finding better sources, instead of using these as footnotes...which leads to the bigger problem for this article--that the events described are poorly sourced, in that it's not clear which of the fine references listed at the bottom of the article are relied upon for the numerous statements in the text. --

Student, was ". . . one of the first native attacks upon American Imperialism. . ." (34) Vivas was writing when the US was involved in many countries in South America and Central America. Vivas saw Thoreau's politics, especially his stance on resistance to government, as troubling, "Thoreau's ideals are inoperative in the real, everyday world, and because he will not compromise his ideals, at all, they have no effect upon the world: they are politically useless." (35) In the 1960s, we will see how useful Thoreau becomes.
1290:"Although at times it sounds as if Thoreau is advocating anarchy, what he demands is a better government, and what he refuses to acknowledge is the authority of one that has become so morally corrupt as to lose the consent of those governed. “There will never be a really free and enlightened State,” he argues, “until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly” (“Civil Disobedience”)" from: 491:
felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to sieze and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented. ... I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and another toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both." This quote, in my opinion, also highlights excellently the difference between Thoreau's Transcendentalism and that of Emerson and others.

we edit the same pages. As to what you said, I did a search of the document for Thoreau yesterday, and nothing turned up. Now it does. I don't know why (I spelled it right, since I copy and pasted from the title of this article. Anyways, just because goldman says he's an anarchist, doesn't make it so. I think we should leave that up to others to decide. Goldman can't be seen as the be all end all of anarchist labelling.
885:"Emma Goldman called Thoreau an anarchist" is a whole different kettle of fish from "Thoreau is an anarchist." Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If you want to stick "anarchist" in the intro to an article, you're going to have to do better than googling for one isolated quote. We can find thousands of notable references describing him as a "writer," but the anarchist spin is quite singular. 1224:

Also, I have no problem with mentioning libertarianism (American-style) on the anarchism page, as the relationship should be explored. But I do have a problem with trying to say that they are the same, or that some forms of american libertarianism should be considered a form of anarchism.

train passing nearby, his walks through other peoples' farms, the shanty towns near across the pond, the ice cutters he speaks with. It is a tragic misreading of Walden to suggest that this was the "point" of the book and that Thoreau presents his experience fraudulently.

gay academics fed up with the dissembling and/or censorship. Gradually mainstream academic acknowledgement that there is/may be a case occurred. After all the hard work of gay scholars, the hole in the dyke wall, so to speak, was opened by "Mainstream" Thoreau biographer the late Walter Harding. He tells the story from his perspective in the Afterforward to the 2nd edition of his 1965 biography

his family. He made an adequate living from many sources and shared his income with his family. Yes, he built his house at Walden on Emerson's land. Some friends helped him raise the roof beam. He visited his family now and then. All true, but hardly indications of laziness. He caught his fatal cold by staying out too long in a wet snow to count rings in felled trees. --WH 29 Sep 2005
3480:, is an expression of conflicted desire. In some of Thoreau's writing there is the sense of a secret self. In 1840 he writes in his journal: "My friend is the apology for my life. In him are the spaces which my orbit traverses". Thoreau was strongly influenced by the moral reformers of his time, and this may have instilled anxiety and guilt over sexual desire. 1998:

Law never made man a whit more just; and by means of their respect for it, even the well disposed are daily made agents of injustice. 542:
lectures bears comparison. We must remember Thoreau lectured out of compulsion to speak out on important issues, and Emerson lectured more to fulfill the role of the "public intellectual." We find him saying as much in "The American Scholar." To claim that HDT met with less success in his lectures ignores that we remember him yet for far fewer of them.

The history of Thoreau studies on the issue has, not surprisingly, followed the same academic trajectory as with his bisexual/homosexual contemporaries, such as Whitman, Eakins, Sargent, Lincoln, et al.

Laziness would probably be the typical accusation by a member of society to someone who rejects the materialism and complacency of that society. But Thoreau's extensive and detailed studies of plants and animals, in addition to his literary and other work show this to be inaccurate.

I added some information on his family, divided "Life and Works" into "Life and Works" "Later Years and Death" and "Criticisms" subtitles, and re-arranged some paragraphs so that it'll hopefully flow a little better. I think "Life and Works" has room for another subsection or so.
2577:
It may be worth a paragraph to clear up this common misunderstanding. Thoreau's time at Walden was manifestly not a rugged experiment in self-sufficiency, but nowadays when people hear "lived in the woods" that's what they think of. I might try to take a crack at it later...

One good source that claims him a vegetarian is Henry Salt's biography of Thoreau (2000 edition). He was no doubt a very influential and known advocator, but the book in chapter 9 (Doctrines) does mention that he was a 'vegetarian in practice' for a greater part of his life.

It was not atheistic, but Unitarian and thus did not see Jesus as divine." 1136:. Mere anti-statism is not equivalent to anarchism.

far as to say Thoreau was an anarchist, the term just had not been around yet. He certainly inspired many radicals and anarchists including Edward Abbey and Emma Goldman, who called him "the greatest American anarchist."
1194:
Another thing. I can't believe you called Thoreau a quasi-anarchist. And you call yourself an anarchist? Are you seriously saying that you are a real anarchist and that Thoreau wasn't? I'm not even going to say any more.
1427:
I'll also be the first to say that I am not well-versed in Thoreau's writings, so I really can't say whether or not I consider him to be an anarchist. But the fact still remains that most people don't label him as such.

Might it be meaningful to talk about his writings on Botany? I read Faith in a Seed this past fall and found it very interesting, so I think that his interest in Botany might merit a little more mention in the article.
