Publisher's Synopsis
""Emerson and Beyond: Essays Toward A Philosophy"" is a collection of essays written by William Yerington that explores the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson and its relevance in contemporary times. The book discusses the themes of individualism, self-reliance, and transcendentalism that are central to Emerson's philosophy and how they can be applied to modern-day issues such as environmentalism, technology, and politics. Yerington provides a critical analysis of Emerson's works and presents his own interpretations and insights into the philosopher's ideas. The essays also examine the influence of Emerson on other thinkers and writers such as Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Martin Heidegger. ""Emerson and Beyond"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, and the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
