Henry David Thoreau

**Henry David Thoreau** (12.7., 1817 – 6.5., 1862; rođen kao **David Henry Thoreau**) bio je američki pisac, prirodoslovac, transcedentalist, borac protiv poreza, kritičar razvoja i filozof najpoznatiji po knjizi *[[Walden]]*, meditacijama na temu jednostavnog života u prirodnom okružju, te eseju, *[[Civil Disobedience (Thoreau)|Građanski neposluh]]*, pozivu za otpor građanskoj vlasti kao izraz protivljenju nepravednoj državi.

Thoreauve knjige, članci, eseji, dnevnici i pjesme zajedno tvore 20 tomova. Među njegovim najpoznatijim djelima se navode prirodoslovne knjige i filozofija u kojoj je predvidio metode i dostignuća ekologije i ambijentalne historije, dva izvora današnjeg ambijentalizma.

Thoreau je cijelog života bio abolicionist, koji je u svojim predavanjima napadao Zakono o odbjeglim robovima istovremeno hvaleći djela Wendella Phillipsa i braneći abolicionista Johna Browna. Thoreauova folozofija nenasilnog otpora je utjecala na doktrinu i praksu kasnijih velikih ličnosti kao što su Lav Tolstoj, Mohandas K. Gandhi i Martin Luther King, Jr.
