			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a literature review, this <a href="http://www.ub.edu/astrolabio/Articulos8/Casado-Thoreau.pdf">paper</a> provides an overview of Henry D. Thoreau’s political philosophy, with emphasis on the concept of civil self-determination, which Habermas sees as comprised of both private and public autonomy, and which is present in Thoreau’s own work. I argue that he was not an anti-social anarchist, or even a pure liberal individualist, but that along with the main liberal themes of his thought there is also a democratic, even communitarian strand. Finally, I identify and describe a tension between democratic and liberal themes in both his work and contemporary Western politics, thus highlighting Thoreau’s relevance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ce <a href="http://pagesperso-orange.fr/michel.onfray/contrehistoiredelaphilo.htm">sixième volume de la Contre-histoire de la philosophie</a> propose de &#8221; se changer &#8221; et de résister à la massification de l&#8217;époque par la construction d&#8217;une subjectivité forte revendiquée comme telle. Henry David Thoreau montre que la nature peut et doit nous donner des leçons : contre la technique, la modernité, le journalisme, la société de consommation, la ville, la banque, l&#8217;industrie, le philosophe propose l&#8217;amour d&#8217;un lac, Walden, la marche, la solitude, la vie simple, la frugalité existentielle, l&#8217;écologie technophobe, la rébellion libertaire, la construction de sa maison, l&#8217;autosubsistance sous toutes ses formes. Il donne ses modèles : le bûcheron, l&#8217;Indien, le sauvage. Arthur Schopenhauer formule la philosophie pessimiste la plus achevée, mais vit selon les principes d&#8217;un épicurisme théorisé dans L&#8217;Art du bonheur, un ouvrage qui permet de découvrir un penseur théoriquement noir, certes, mais pratiquement amoureux de la vie qu&#8217;il traverse en&#8230; hédoniste ! Enfin, dans L&#8217;Unique et sa propriété, Max Stirner pose les bases d&#8217;un homme post-chrétien tout à l&#8217;affirmation de sa puissance qui donnera des idées à un certain Frédéric Nietzsche&#8230; Ces trois penseurs radicaux proposent de nouvelles possibilités d&#8217;existence. Thoreau écrivait : &#8221; Il existe de nos jours des professeurs de philosophie, mais de philosophes, point. &#8221; Cette contre-histoire n&#8217;est pas un plaidoyer destiné à augmenter le nombre de professeurs, mais une invitation pour chacun à mener une vie philosophique.</p>
