The Philosopher as Prophet
Philosophy in the Contemporary World 10 (2):89-103 (2003)
| Abstract | Emerson articulated his metaphysics of selfhood within a theistic framework; Thoreau reconfigured his ideas as a mystical pantheism. In this latter form, Transcendentalism offered twentieth century Americans a new religious sensibility based on an intimacy with nature, which became a spiritual and aesthetic resource for personal fulfillment | |||||||||
