Tietoja tekijästä

Known primarily as the leader of the philosophical movement transcendentalism, which stresses the ties of humans to nature, Ralph Waldo Emerson, American poet and essayist, was born in Boston in 1803. From a long line of religious leaders, Emerson became the minister of the Second Church näytä lisää (Unitarian) in 1829. He left the church in 1832 because of profound differences in interpretation and doubts about church doctrine. He visited England and met with British writers and philosophers. It was during this first excursion abroad that Emerson formulated his ideas for Self-Reliance. He returned to the United States in 1833 and settled in Concord, Massachusetts. He began lecturing in Boston. His first book, Nature (1836), published anonymously, detailed his belief and has come to be regarded as his most significant original work on the essence of his philosophy of transcendentalism. The first volume of Essays (1841) contained some of Emerson's most popular works, including the renowned Self-Reliance. Emerson befriended and influenced a number of American authors including Henry David Thoreau. It was Emerson's practice of keeping a journal that inspired Thoreau to do the same and set the stage for Thoreau's experiences at Walden Pond. Emerson married twice (his first wife Ellen died in 1831 of tuberculosis) and had four children (two boys and two girls) with his second wife, Lydia. His first born, Waldo, died at age six. Emerson died in Concord on April 27, 1882 at the age of 78 due to pneumonia and is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts. (Bowker Author Biography) näytä vähemmän

Some of the essays I really love, others not so much. I do find the language difficult - or maybe "hard to parse" would be a better description. But for the best of the essays, it's worth the struggle. The others make good reading when I can't sleep.

It's a bit disturbing to my enjoyment when Emerson starts waxing poetic about Galtian overlords unlocking the wisdom of coal and whatnot

An introduction to the thought of Emerson.
A thought experiment to understand the relationship between people and nature.
It is interesting to ask and reflect on whether our more detailed description of the properties of nature changes things or simply adds color and depth to Emerson’s perspective.
