Cover of Henry David Thoreau: On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (ePUB)

Penned by American philosopher and transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience examines the role of the individual's conscience in governmental rule. Thoreau argues that individual citizens must not simply be subject to the decisions of government, but should question every political act to ensure that the system remains a tool for justice and morality–a message that continues to resonate powerfully in modern times.
