Join the editors and essayists of Thoreau & Philosophy for a conversation exploring Thoreau as one of America’s most profound philosophical thinkers. Beyond his literary and naturalist legacy, Thoreau’s work engages philosophical questions that remain deeply relevant today, shaping conversations about ethics, freedom, society, and the environment. Together, the panelists share how situating Thoreau in a philosophical context allows one to more fully appreciate the depth of his thought.
Co-sponsored by the Thoreau Alliance.
