美国十九世纪文学家亨利·大卫·梭罗以其超验主义思想和自然主义态度享有盛誉。人们在关注其个人主义思想和自我完善的同时，往往忽视或者否定了他的政治思想。他的个人主义和社会完善不仅不存在根本的对立，反而相辅相成。梭罗认为，好的政府应尊重公民的个人意志，保障个人素质提升的空间；同时公民应具备高尚的道德和自我完善的能力，有助于政府提高执政能力和社会和谐。自我完善不仅是个人也成为政府社会完善的唯一途径。

Henry David Thoreau, a 19th-century American transcendentalist, is well-known for his transcendental thinking and naturalistic attitude. When his ideas on individualism and self-development are paid much attention, his polit-ical thoughts are always neglected or ignored. As a matter of fact, his individualism is not essentially contrary but helpful to the society, since he believed that an excellent government should respect human will and self-improvement ability, and that civilians should be of virtues and capability of self-culture so as to better the governmental administration and social harmony. Self-culture is the key to both individual and governmental perfection.
