About this ebook
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the leading proponent of the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century. He was ordained as a Unitarian minister at Harvard Divinity School but served for only three years before developing his own spiritual philosophy based on individualism and intuition. His essay Nature is arguably his best-known work and was both groundbreaking and highly controversial when it was first published. Emerson also wrote poetry and lectured widely across the US.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I found Emerson to be naive. His understanding of science was evidently pre Darwinian. He seems to think that the world was made for us and he does not understand the fact that we are creatures of nature. Basically most of what he says is incorrect.

I think I'll need to reread this every autumn. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature is a testimony of a Transcendentalist with a faith in nature. In this treatise Emerson presented nature as paramount in people’s lives. With captivating descriptions he showed how natural phenomena always played a vital role in our lives. Every aspect of nature was presented as important to mankind’s thinking and actions. Our mind, body, and soul are guided by nature. People shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that nature was separate from them, for they are intricately interrelated with it. Emerson’s prose was rather poetic. He was able to blend nature’s beauty with these natural gifts. To this end he was most successful in bringing life to a Pantheistic view of the world. To Emerson, “nature was all in all,” and embraced every aspect of life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful limited edition, 35/50.The essay remains puzzling and unconvincing, to me, but we struggle for the sublime, anyway.Finished at La Push on birthday trip.
