{"product_id":"9781350079021","title":"The Philosophy of Henry Thoreau : Ethics, Politics, and Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003eHenry Thoreau is widely considered to be one of the greatest nature writers, among whose best-known works are Walden and Walking. In this book, Lester Hunt shows that his writings have a compelling philosophical dimension as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Thoreau seldom argues for his ideas the way other philosophers do. Rather than setting up proofs designed to trap the reader into agreeing with him, he challenges the reader - by means of narratives, jokes, questions, and paradoxes -- to recognize possibilities previously unknown and unexplored. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Thoreau's own explorations led him to several distinctively philosophical theories: an intuitionist metaethics, an ethics based on virtue and self-realization, a politics that is fundamentally individualist and anarchist, and a secular religion in which nature is pre-eminent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48949632565483,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":292.99,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781350079021-1.jpg?v=1783098141","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781350079021","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
