Nature and Man's Spiritual Awakening in Henry David Thoreau's Walden

本論文探討及描述梭羅（及他對同胞精神覺醒的熱切激勵）精神覺醒的過程。他勇敢甚或睿智地與“傳統方向”分道揚鑣，並轉而依靠、“內在的機智”；此大膽之舉實乃植基於他對人從與自然的密切互動可引出最後精神性的深刻意識。梭羅在《湖濱散記》中所呈現的自然乃一不具階級差別的有機整體，在其中，人作爲自然的一部分可與自然整體及其它的生物達成和諧狀態。藉著簡化他的生活至基本不可或缺之物及從事一些戒慾的鍛鍊，梭羅因此能排除所有對本質認知的障礙，並且同時除去隱藏心中的獸性。簡而言之。藉由此書所呈現的“自我依恃的個人主義”及“簡單”價值的實現過程，梭羅使他自己成爲令人驚奇的、簡單生活及深度思考，的示範者。

The paper explores and describes the invigorating process of Thoreau's (and his ardent encouraging of his countrymen's) spiritual awakening which is possible to occur in nature; his bold and perhaps wise deviation from ”tradition direction”-relying instead on ”inner direction” is essentially based upon his awareness of man's ultimate spirituality possible gained through man's rich communion with nature. The nature he represents in Walden is a vital whole without any sense of hierarchy, in which man as only a parcel of nature can achieve a harmony with the whole and all the other living beings within her. Moreover, by simplifying his life to its basic essentials and by doing some sorts of ascetic discipline, Thoreau thus removes all the obstacles in the perception of essences and simultaneously, rids himself of the animal within himself. In short, through Walden a recording of his fulfillment of the values of ”self-reliant individualism,” and ”simplicity”, he himself amazingly becomes the fullest exemplar of ”plain living and high thinking”.
