Civil Disobedience

"Civil Disobedience" is a seminal essay by transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849. In this influential work, Thoreau articulates his beliefs on the moral duty of individuals to resist unjust laws and government actions through nonviolent means. Inspired by his night spent in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax in protest against slavery and the Mexican-American War, Thoreau advocates for passive resistance as a powerful tool against oppressive institutions. His eloquent prose explores the tension between individual conscience and obedience to authority, emphasizing the importance of personal integrity and standing up for one's principles. "Civil Disobedience" remains a cornerstone of political philosophy, inspiring movements for social justice and civil rights across the globe, and challenging individuals to question the ethical foundations of governmental actions.
