摘要
Critics have long been unable to square Henry D. Thoreau's individualist philosophy with his intermittent political participation. In order to clarify Thoreau's intentions, this essay offers an explication of Thoreau's defense of political indifference as a unique and challenging response to the United States' political problems during the mid-nineteenth-century. © 2011 by The New England Quarterly.
