What is Nature And Other Essays about?
Nature and Other Essays - American author Ralph Waldo Emerson's Nature essay is the foundation of transcendentalism, an appreciation of nature. Transcendentalism suggests that divinity suffuses all nature, and we can only understand reality through studying nature. Although written a few centuries ago, Emerson's ideas are still timely. The author was a mentor of Henry David Thoreau, and he was a well-known essayist, philosopher and poet. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) was a champion of individualism and disseminated his thoughts through published essays and public lectures across the United States. He gradually moved away from the contemporary religious and social beliefs, expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature". Emerson's work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets that followed him. (Scholars note: this book has more than 700 footnotes.)
