Re: Language in Emerson's Self-reliance essay
Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
But remember at the time free thought was still new. Not long before scientist were being
killed by the church for new ideas.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Galileo Galilei
This was so extreme that Leonardo DaVinci wrote left handed backwards so that only he could read
it. In the time of Emmerson, free thought was eveywhere. He was a master of the trade of phylosophy, his apprentace being Henry David Thoreau. It may help to look at phylosophy as a science, and a trade.
