Thoreau's attitude toward the outdoors in Economy from Walden reflects a deep appreciation and desire to be surrounded by nature. He values the natural world for its beauty and teaching potential, rather than seeing it as something to be conquered. Thus, the most fitting description of his attitude is that he was interested in being completely surrounded by nature. ;
