intricacy nature provides is unequivocally astonishing; moreover, nature is like space as a result of its incredible complexity. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a wise, transcendental man, shares the same perspective as I toward nature; there is nothing in this vast, sophisticated world that has the ability to come to the equivalency of serenity nature provides Ralph Waldo Emerson and I. Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the…

What is walking? Is it an aimless way to waste time with no real destination? Do we as humans walk with a purpose or with somewhere to be? In Henry David Thoreau’s piece, Walking, he discusses the beauty of nature and how we as humans are “an inhabitant of nature, rather than a member of society. (Pg. 49)” Thoreau discloses how we as a society never are able to just get out and walk anymore. We spend so much of our lives with places to be and things to do that we never have time to walk around…

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Although I am not very philosophical and certainly not a poet, as he was, I agree with him in that there is something to be said about being alone in nature. When I want to be alone, I air up my bike tires and head off to the trails. My house is about two blocks from the Missouri Pacific Recreational Trail. Riding west on this trail is just a means to get to where I want to…

they can see. People can trust themselves to be their own authority on what is right. The people who were closely associated with this new way of thinking and looking at the world were known as the Transcendental Club. The leader of this club was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson was a fantastic writer who wrote many essays. Nature, one of his essays, has some key themes that correspond with the theory of Transcendentalism. Some themes are reason and understanding, relationship…

Alan Watts was a 20th century philosopher who began the movement and application of eastern philosophies in the western world. He helped millions of people encounter and explore new ideas and apply them to their lives to create a better world. Watts inspired people to exchange ideas between nations and between people. He had a unique way of presenting and explaining old ideas with a modern perspective, which lead to his work becoming a major influence in the 1960s. Watts exchanged Eastern ideas…

"The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain." This is a quote by Colin Wilson. It tells us his views on conformism and the human nature of others. Most people don’t feel that they are independent enough to become a non-conformist. Conformism is something that most people do and Colin Wilson is trying to share that in this quote. Becoming a non-conformist is a little hard because most people want to fit in and roll with the…

Ralph Waldo Emerson's quote, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow", is a great and relatable quote for life. I strongly agree with this statement because I have experienced events in my life that caused me to discover myself and the world around me. Through school, athletics, and church activities, I was able to go beyond my comfort zone and participate in activities that I never thought I would do. In grade school, the work that was…

Romanticism and Transcendentalism were two important movements during the 18th and 19th centuries. Romanticism is associated with imagination and boundlessness. It began once the influential European artists and writers broke away from formalities and rationalities of the Enlightenment. Transcendentalism was not exactly a religion, but it was defined as a philosophy or form of spirituality. It began as a reform movement in the Unitarian church and was centered around Boston, Concord, and…

Be true to yourself To be yourself means to do what ever your heart wants and don’t care what anybody thinks. In Self Reliance, Emerson says that” Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.” This quote basically says that if you're human, you…

Hipster Cows (An Analysis of Conformity Through Colin Wilson's Quote) Emerson once said, "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Man will never be able to fully eradicate conformity, because it is human nature to a certain degree, but one can prevent the unnecessary conformity. The brave few who follow the path less traveled often finds it a rewarding experience. If one can escape the repertoire of life…
