Beskrivelse
Forget the cozy fireplaces and nature walks! This isn't your grandmother's Transcendentalism. Dive into the radical, rebellious, and sometimes downright spooky undercurrents of the movement that dared 19th-century America to rethink religion, break social rules, and encounter the terrifying beauty of the untamed world and human psyche.
Explore:
Spiritual Anarchists: How Emerson's fiery ideas about divine intuition challenged both churches and conventional ideas of obedience.
Screw the Rules: When following your inner truth led Transcendentalists like Margaret Fuller to defy marriage, property norms, and the very idea of "morality".
Thoreau's Jail Cell Manifesto: Witness how principled defiance landed "Resistance to Civil Government" in the hands of revolutionaries worldwide.
Haunted by the Invisible: Discover the dark side of self-reliance, when Transcendentalists grappled with their inner demons and a nature that was as terrifying as it was awe-inspiring.
Rebellion Never Dies See how Transcendentalist echoes reverberate from Beat poets and '60s counterculture to today's environmental movements and fierce individualism.
This book throws open the gates to a truly subversive Transcendentalism - messy, inspiring, and sometimes chilling. If you're ready to toss out the idyllic image and engage with a philosophy that embraces both beauty and chaos, this is your wild ride.
