The essay on self-reliance. By: Ralph Waldo Emerson (Original Version ) by Ralph

Description: The essay on self-reliance. By by Ralph Waldo Emerson Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emersons recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emersons most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."[1] This essay is an analysis into the nature of the "aboriginal self on which a universal reliance may be grounded."The first hint of the philosophy that would become "Self-Reliance" was presented by Ralph Waldo Emerson as part of a sermon in September 1830 a month after his first marriage. His wife Ellen was sick with tuberculosis and, as Emersons biographer Robert D. Richardson wrote, "Immortality had never been stronger or more desperately needed!" From 1836 into 1837, Emerson presented a series of lectures on the philosophy of history at Bostons Masonic Temple. These lectures were never published separately, but many of his thoughts in these were later used in "Self-Reliance" and several other essays. Later lectures by Emerson led to public censure of his radical views, the staunch defense of individualism in "Self-Reliance" being a possible reaction to that censure. "Self-Reliance" was first published in his 1841 collection, Essays: First Series. Emerson helped start the beginning of the Transcendentalist movement in America. "Self-Reliance" is one of Emersons most famous essays. Emerson wrote on "individualism, personal responsibility, and nonconformity FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Details ISBN1536901415 Author Ralph Waldo Emerson Pages 24 Language English Year 2016 ISBN-10 1536901415 ISBN-13 9781536901412 Format Paperback Publication Date 2016-08-04 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Imprint Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Subtitle Ralph Waldo Emerson (Original Version ) Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
