Transcendentalism: Ralph waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that Henry David Thoreau was alive. Transcendentalism is a religious and philosophical movement that evolved from the 1920s through the 1830s. It started in the northeastern United States. According to Paul Ruben, this movement was intended to protest the spirituality and intellectualism (Ruben) originally brought from the UK to the United States. The core belief in exercise can be inferred on a single line and discover the inherent advantages of nature and humans. They fought against the two major institutions that had influenced society at the time - government and religion - but they were told that there is the possibility of distorting individuals.

The main authors of transcendental include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller and W. H. Channing. In a broad sense, transcendence is the response to the religious legitimacy of last century rationalism and Californism of New England. Transcendentalism emphasizes the romantic principle of mysticism, idealism, individualism. Religiously, God is not a far and rigid authority, it is an important aspect of individuals and the natural world, and itself is considered indivisible. Because all substances, human beings, and nature are united deeply, knowledge of the world and its law can be gained through magical seduction with the world. "I have become a transparent eye, I have nothing, I saw everything.The general trend is spreading within me." I am a part of God. "

This article further discusses Emerson's "intuition philosophy" based on the belief that spiritual truth can be remembered intuitively and directly from God. Later I will look at Emerson's mysterious spiritual nature experience and discuss his concept of "super soul" with reference to the ideologicalistic view of German poet John Wolfgang von Goethe. That's all. Finally, this work explores how Thoreau looks at his transcendent view of human-nature relationships and the relationship between mind and nature.
