Henry David Thoreau – Civil Disobedience (Sivil İtaatsizlik) – Zeplin Kitap Turkish Edition (2019)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Civil Disobedience (Sivil İtaatsizlik) by Henry David Thoreau was published by Zeplin Kitap in 2019. Printed in Turkish, the work is one of the most influential political essays in modern history, advocating the moral responsibility of individuals to resist unjust laws and government actions through peaceful noncompliance.

Written after Thoreau's refusal to pay a poll tax in protest against slavery and the Mexican-American War, the essay argues that conscience should take precedence over obedience to the state. Thoreau maintains that individuals have a duty to oppose injustice without resorting to violence, making the work a foundational text for the philosophy of nonviolent resistance. His ideas later inspired figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and numerous civil rights movements around the world.

Themes such as freedom, justice, individual conscience, civil rights, government, and nonviolent resistance appear throughout the work. Civil Disobedience remains a timeless classic of political philosophy and an enduring defense of individual liberty and moral responsibility.
