Discription:
2018 Reprint of Selections from Emerson's Essays: First Series [1841] and Second Series [1844].
Essayist, poet, and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a founder of American
Transcendentalism, a philosophy emphasizing self-reliance, introspection and the importance of
nature for the human being. He was a prescient critic of the dehumanizing tendencies of modern
society, especially the then nascent industrialization, and he disseminated his thoughts through
dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. The six
essays selected from Essays, First Series (1841) and Essays, Second Series (1844) offer a
sampling of his views outlining his moral idealism as well as a hint of the later skepticism that
colored his thought. In addition to the celebrated title essay, Self-Reliance, the others included
here are History, Friendship, The Over-Soul, The Poet, and Experience.
