Philip F. Gura Masterfully Traces Their Intellectual Genealogy To Transatlantic Religious And Philosophical Ideas, Illustrating How These Informed The Fierce Local Theological Debates That, So Often First In Massachusetts And Eventually Throughout America, Gave Rise To Practical, Personal, And Quixotic Attempts To Improve, Even Perfect The World. The Transcendentalists Would Painfully Bifurcate Over What Could Be Attained And How, One Half Epitomized By Ralph Waldo Emerson And Stressing Selfreliant Individualism, The Other By Orestes Brownson, George Ripley, And Theodore Parker, Emphasizing Commitment To The Larger Social Good.By The 1850S, The Uniquely American Problem Of Slavery Dissolved Differences As Transcendentalists Turned Ever More Exclusively To Abolition.
