Here in one volume are both the Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series from one of the most influential philosophers in American history. Although Ralph Waldo Emerson, perhaps Americas most famous philosopher, did not wish to be referred to as a transcendentalist, he is nevertheless considered the founder of this major movement of nineteenthcentury American thought. Emerson was influenced by a liberal religious training; theological study; personal contact with the Romanticists Coleridge, Carlyle, and Wordsworth; and a strong indigenous sense of individualism and selfreliance. Emersons best work was done between 1836 and 1860, a period which includes his famous Essays. These essays contain his most important writing and radiate with sensitivity and wonder. Here Emersons prose shows him to be both a vigorous thinker and a profound mystic, a man of exquisite feeling combined with stern moral fiber. His strong love of retirement from life, contemplation of the sublime and the mystic, his selfreliance, and his strong character left their stamp not only on such writers as Thoreau, Whitman, and Emily Dickinson but also on the American character at large. This collection includes the following: First Series: History SelfReliance Compensation Spiritual Laws Love Friendship Prudence Heroism The OverSoul Circles Intellect Art Second Series: The Poet Experience Character Manners Gifts Nature Politics Nominalist and Realist

These essays are really deep and thought-provoking. It took me a while to get through some of them because they require a lot of reflection. Still, I appreciate Emerson's rich language and ideas. Not for a casual read, but worth it!

Beautifully Written but Challenging
Emerson's essays are beautifully written and filled with wisdom. However, I found some sections hard to grasp, which slowed down my reading. It's a rewarding challenge, but be prepared!

Not What I Expected
I was excited to read Emerson's essays, but I found them a bit dense for my taste. The writing is beautiful, but sometimes I felt it lost clarity. Maybe it’s just not the right fit for me right now.
