User talk:Eng241-Transcendentalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendentalism is an visionary philosophical and social movement that expanded in New England around 1836 in response to Rationalism. Influenced by Romanticism, Platonism, and Kantian philosophy, it was centered around the idea that divinity flows through and is apart of all nature and humanity. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were major figures during this time.
