Thoreau's Living Ethics: Walden and the Pursuit of Virtue
Thoreau’s Living Ethics is the first full, rigorous account of Henry Thoreau’s ethical philosophy. Focused on Walden but ranging widely across his writings, the study situates Thoreau within a long tradition of ethical thinking in the West, from the ancients to the romantics and on to the present day. Philip Cafaro shows Thoreau grappling with important ethical questions that agitated his own society and discusses his value for those seeking to understand contemporary ethical issues.

Walking hand-in-hand with death, says Coelho, we become more alive to the business of living and living well.
