Ralph Waldo Emerson was a seminal figure in American Transcendentalism, though he never adopted the label himself. His writing, often profound and aphoristic, challenged traditional religious and philosophical concepts, exploring an 'Over-Soul' and how the 'unseen' could be found within the 'supernatural.' Emerson's work, characterized by keen insights and polished prose, influenced generations of thinkers and writers, from his contemporaries to later philosophers and authors who took up his themes of power, fate, and critiques of religion.
