Ralph Waldo Emerson

    May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882

    Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, poet, and a leading figure of Transcendentalism. His writings explore a belief in the 'Over-Soul,' challenging traditional religious dogmas in favor of an inner spirit. Emerson's style is marked by incisive aphorisms that expose hypocrisy and advocate for independent thought. His radical philosophy inspired generations of thinkers and writers, including Henry David Thoreau and Friedrich Nietzsche, with his work remaining influential today.

    • In his numerous lectures, writings, and poems, the philosopher and writer Emerson emphasized in a variety of ways his call for a radical renewal and intellectual self-determination of American culture and literature, thus establishing a line of tradition that had a decisive influence not only on the history of American literature but also on the history of philosophy in the United States. In his essays he emphasized that people should live in a simple way and in harmony with nature. In nature he saw the true source of divine revelation. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of man's creative activity as an impetus for fundamental renewal and a source of freedom and self-determination for the individual.
