Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature is a testimony of a Transcendentalist with a faith in nature. In this treatise Emerson presented nature as paramount in people’s lives. With captivating descriptions he showed how natural phenomena always played a vital role in our lives. Every aspect of nature was presented as important to mankind’s thinking and actions. Our mind, body, and soul are guided by nature. People shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that nature was separate from them, for they are intricately interrelated with it. Emerson’s prose was rather poetic. He was able to blend nature’s beauty with these natural gifts. To this end he was most successful in bringing life to a Pantheistic view of the world. To Emerson, “nature was all in all,” and embraced every aspect of life. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A thought experiment to understand the relationship between people and nature.
It is interesting to ask and reflect on whether our more detailed description of the properties of nature changes things or simply adds color and depth to Emerson’s perspective. ( )
