Живот у тороовској шуми или у глобалистичкој џунгли?
Life in the Thoreauien Woods or in the Globalistic Jungle?

Summary/Abstract: The author, pointing in the article to the existence of various, including wrong (re)interpretations of Thoreau’s conception of civil disobedience, strives to offer a different interpretation which discovers his significant importance, inspiring and revitalizing role when it comes to modern man, with truncated human dignity, lost spiritual values and disturbed moral integrity, and his alienated and dehumanized society, which is placed in the vortex of the globalistic jungle. An aim is to show that Thoreau’s conception offers an alternative of life, which in the neo-slaveholding conditions can be sanative. This old, but today very contemporary and modern conception requires a new, liberated and morally renewed man, who is both responsible and actively oriented citizen. Only associated acting citizens form the strength of the social capital which can play potentially significant role in strengthening democratic, institutional and non-institutional capacities, in national, international, transnational and global framework, respectively.
