HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862): Concord and Emerson's best friend is Henry David Thoreau. In order to test his transcendental philosophy, Thoreau conducted a two year real-life experiment in a cabin in the forest outside the city. He uses natural observations to discover the basic truth about life and the universe. Thoreau's work for many years has been published in his most famous book, Walden (1854). Thanks to this book, Thoreau remains today as a pioneering ecologist and environmentalist. Through his article "citizen's disobedience," Thoreau made himself an initial supporter of non-violent protest actions. This article explains the argument that Thoreau violated unjust laws and accepted punishment. The philosopher's own civil disobedience is to refuse to pay taxes to support the war between the United States and Mexico (1846 - 1848) - what he thinks is unethical. In order to violate the tax law, Thoreau stayed at Concord prison one evening.
