Beskrivning

Offers the first systematic study of Emerson as a religious thinker and analyzes him as a case study in expressive religious individualism. By filling an important gap in Emersonian criticism, it not only throws new light on Emerson's thought but also offers a critique of the individualistic ideology he first formulated. Contents: Spiritual Discernment; The Saturnalia of Faith; The Philosophy of Bias; The Higher Civility; The Natural History of Intellect; The Endless Seeker: A Cas in Expressive Religious Individualism; and The World of the Transparent Eyeball (diagram).
