Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism- is a literary and philosophical movement, asserting the existence of an ideal spiritual reality that transcends the empirical and scientific and is knowable through intuition.
What?! That was exactly what my reaction was like the first time I read that. Even know when I read it all I see is blah blah blah! So I have decided to explain this so that all of us non-English majors can better understand.
To me, transcendentalism is a philosophy of life. I’m not really sure if I have a philosophy on life, but I know how I want to live my life.
I believe that in the end we all chose the paths that out lives went down. You pretty much create your own history. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “It is the harder, because you will find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.”
I guess if I did have a philosophy on life it would consist of a few things: don’t do something unless you think it is right, live your life by what you believe in, and be compassionate and understanding.
