Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice.


Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent today as when they were first written. A true American classic.

Best known for Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, he developed a philosophy grounded in individual conscience, simplicity, and resistance to unjust authority. Thoreau's work has had a lasting influence on political thought, environmental writing, and traditions of nonviolent protest.
