Written by transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, Walden is a reflection on the benefits of living simply with nature. In the book, Thoreau writes of the two years he spent living in a cabin near Walden Pond, and uses his experiences there to meditate on society and man's place in the world. A text that is both spiritual and philosophical, Walden touches on many themes, including the importance of self-reliance and simplicity, and critiques the idea of progress as a means of fulfillment.
Walden Two is a utopic novel novel by the behavioralist psychologist B. F. Skinner, who rejected the philosophical concept of free will. The novel describes a small rural community that lives simply in nature, similar to the way Henry David Thoreau described in his 1854 book Walden. The community lives with an experimental attitude towards life and its members constantly strive for self-improvement. The government is democratic and its leaders live as simply as all the other citizens.
