“…This is a particularly egregious omission for Cafaro's and Friedrich's essays (Cafaro's reading of Thoreau as a biocentrist, and Paul Friedrich's reading of Thoreau as a political activist, are by no means without serious challenge in the secondary literature), but this growing and vibrant literature, already committed to addressing Thoreau's philosophical importance, could enrich many of the discussions in this volume. The most distinguished names in the political philosophy and environmental philosophy literature include George Kateb (1992), Nancy Rosenblum (1981, 1987, 2009), Philip Abbott (1985, Bryan Norton (1991), Jane Bennett (1994), Brian Walker (1998, 2001), Leigh Kathryn Jenco (2003 and Shannon Mariotti (2010). None of these names appear in this volume.…”

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, journal‐keeper, naturalist, and abolitionist who wrote on subjects ranging from the self, society, slavery, and the state to wilderness, walking, and wild apples. Thoreau was born, lived, and died – at an early age from tuberculosis – in Concord, Massachusetts and rarely left his hometown except for brief trips in New England, and to New York, Minnesota, and Canada. He is typically classified with Ralph Waldo Emerson as a significant thinker in the American transcendentalist school of thought and as an American Renaissance writer alongside Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allen Poe, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman. During his own life, Thoreau was often overshadowed by Emerson and his writings proved difficult to publish and only achieved very minimal market success. But his importance as a key American thinker has grown continually since his death and today he is well known for both his “reform writings” and his “nature writings.”
