Ralph Waldo Emerson believed that an appreciation of its vast natural resources
would become the foundation of American culture. His assertion that human
thought and actions proceed from nature, was a radical departure from the
traditional European emphasis on domesticating nature to suit human needs. His
philosophy is rich in common natural scenes of daily life, and expresses the
inherent harmony between man and nature. This collection brings together 15 of
Emerson's most significant essays, including "Nature", "The American Scholar",
"Self-reliance" and "The Transcendentalist", as well as his assessments of
Montaigne, Napoleon and Thoreau.
