Tauber shows why Thoreau still seems so relevant today--more relevant in many respects than he seemed to his contemporaries. Although Thoreau has been skillfully and thoroughly examined as a writer, naturalist, mystic, historian, social thinker, Transcendentalist, and lifelong student, we may find in Tauber's portrait of Thoreau the moralist a characterization that binds all these aspects of his career together.HENRY DAVID THOREAU & THE MORAL AGENCY OF KNOWINGKnowledge, Theory of, in literaturePositivismRomanticismRomanticism - United StatesThoreau, Henry David,-- 1817-1862-- PhilosophyKnowledge, Theory of, in literatureUnited StatesRomanticismPositivismAmerican LiteratureHILCCEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCKnowledge, Theory of, in literature.Positivism.Romanticism.Romanticism - United States.Thoreau, Henry David,-- 1817-1862-- Philosophy.Knowledge, Theory of, in literatureRomanticismPositivismAmerican LiteratureEnglishLanguages & Literatures818.3818/.309Tauber Alfred I52944AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910496137803321Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing2854276UNINA
