Transcendental function

introspective philosophy Emerson discusses. Emerson contained three different central ideas that classified as requirements for a poet. They were composed of the relationship between the soul and the art of the poet, the poet’s communicative or prophetic function and the relationship with nature, and the objective of the poetry entirely. Emily Dickinson completed these requirements over time. In some of Dickinson’s poems these characteristics apply. Emerson also said that poetry is basically an…

This work most notably speaks against strong government presence and slavery, telling readers to take action against them. Both of these topics point back to Thoreau's transcendental views, and equality. Thoreau's dislike of the government originates in the idea that all men are equal. If all humans are equal, none is more fit to rule over another. His views on the government can be seen in several different lines throughout…

These can be described as: (i) environmental, social and physiological which includes all actions, senses and the thinking mind, (ii) psychological which is composed of: intellect, feeling and ego, the “I” and (iii) the universal Self or the Transcendental Self. The mind can then be understood…

Deconstruction of Conceptual Reason: Transcendental Immanence and Faith Introduction In Climacus’ writing, the relation of faith and knowledge is dialectical. On the one hand, knowledge is not a necessary condition for faith. But on the other hand, the reason behind knowledge is a sufficient condition for faith. To have faith, one can advance upon the Socratic reason and go beyond: philosophize, limit to paradox, and cease to think. But this is not unwilling passivity, because the subject…

car to a flash flood in the quote, “Instead of feeling distraught over this turn of events, moreover, McCandless was exhilarated: He saw the flash flood as an opportunity to shed unnecessary baggage.” (29). In the quote, Krakauer captures the transcendental idea of ridding oneself of his every trace of society to build a purposeful life. When McCandless got rid of his car, he rid himself of his last possession tying himself to the rest of society. The flash flood forced McCandless to commit to…

an die Nacht in which the speaker “celebrates nocturnal mysteries revealed to him in a state of half spontaneous, half artificially provoked intoxication.” Benn’s poem at once recalls the Romantic emphasis on irrationality, subjectivity, and transcendental aspiration while looking forward and examining the modes of cognition and expression that are characteristic of…

and “Healing and Creating in History”, I will focus on how self-reflexivity as cultivated alongside academic theology manifests in a form that heals and creates, rather than one that hates and destroys. Plurality as applied to academic theology functions to educate and mobilize the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. I…

institutions corrupt us and turn us evil. This belief was very popular and was found in many literature pieces during the time. Nathaniel Hawthorne was very involved in this movement. Turner writes, “It Becomes Clear that Hawthorne was at home with both transcendental thought and language, but he can by no means be called a transcendentalist” . This is because Hawthorne was mostly on the other side of this movement and took a role in reforming. Turner explains that the quality of skepticism that…

Higgins points out that “stimulants could alter the structure and function of the brain in ways that may depress mood, boost anxiety and, contrary to their short-term effects, lead to cognitive deficits” (Higgins). This observation makes it clear that the detrimental effects of ADHD medications are long-term, while the…

My Personal Playlist and Transcendental Justification Icarus, Bastille, 2011 I personally love this song simply because of the Greek Mythology reference, as well as the really cool entrance; and I think that transcendentalists might like it as well. My interpretation of this song is that it is talking about how young people search for happiness by doing dangerous and risky things (i.e. Icarus got excited and flew up towards the sun), that may lead to them getting hurt (the sun melting the wax…
