5.0 out of 5 stars The Essence of American Transcendentalism, 26 Feb 2009
By N. A. Bakhshov "nadimb" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
If you have only read William James, C S Pierce and later American philosophers and wonder what was there before then look no further.

Emerson is an absolutely key figure who helped forge an uniquely American philosophical disposition. With 'Nature', 'The American Scholar', 'The Divinity School Address' and 'Self-Reliance' Emerson marked his place in world culture and influenced generations of writers and thinkers. One of his early pupils, Thoreau, took Emersonian self-reliance to new heights in his 'Civil disobedience', a seminal essay which influence Gandhi and Martin Luther king.
