Ralph Waldo Emersons 1860 book, The Conduct of Life is among the gems of his mature works. First published in the year of Abraham Lincolns election as President, this work poses the questions of human freedom and fate.

This new edition emphasizes Emersons philosophy and thoughts on such issues as freedom and fate; creativity and established culture; faith, experience, and evidence; the individual, God, and the world; unity and dualism; moral law, grace, and compensation; and wealth and success. Emersons text has been fully annotated to explain difficult words and to clarify his references. The Introduction, Notes, Bibliography, Index, and Chronology of Emersons life help the reader understand his distinctive outlook, his contributions to philosophy, and his place in American culture and society.
