Abstract
The aim of the present work is to discuss Walden and his holistic approach to
nature, underlining this historical and environmental reference and its importance as a
precursor of the contemporary environmental thought. Walden tries to recreate the bond
between man, science and nature, a goal yearned not only by Thoreau or his romantic
contemporaries of the 19th century, but also by the Environmental Science, which tries
to balance man interests with a protected and preserved environment. Sometimes this
hard task may be understood as a purely technocratic environmental action, when man
necessities are not taken account of, or as a purely anthropocentric action when the
environment is not adequately considered. Thoreau reaches, to perfection, the balance
between these extremes through his view of nature in Walden, which is based on the
indivisibility of man and nature, through the breaking of the scientific , spiritual and
social/anthropologic conventions (which means the breaking with the purely
anthropocentric and rational view). In other words, Walden brings back the mythology,
native traditions and primitive cultures, and mainly the individualist, centre of the
thoreaunian discussions about nature, and the main subject of this work. The
individualist is the one who breaks with the social and economic conventions and
searches a new concept of work and consumption, he still represents what is most new
in a truly holistic nature view, as nature and man are one .
