Emerson is the chief figure in the movement called Transcendentalism, a philosophical and religious movement. Transcendentalism is complex, drawing upon Platonic, Christian, Stoic, and Hindu. Emerson said, "What is popularly called Transcendentalism among us, is Idealism . As thinkers, mankind have ever divided into two sects, Materialists and Idealists; the first class founding on experience, the second on consciousness; the first class beginning to think from the data of the senses, the second class perceive that the senses are not final, and say, the senses gives us representations of things, but what are the things themselves, they cannot tell. The materialist insists on facts, on history, on the force of circumstances, and the animal wants of man; the idealist on the power of Thought and of Will, on inspiration, on miracle."
This edition includes four of Emerson's most popular
and provacative essays: Self-Reliance, Love, The Over-Soul, and Spiritual Laws.
