A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first two pieces in this volume are lectures from the University Courses ou philosophy, given at Harvard College in 1870 and 1871, by persons not members of the Faculty. The Natural History of the Intellect was the subject which Emerson chose. He had from his early youth cherished the project of a new method in metaphysics, proceeding by observation of the mental facts, without attempting an analysis and coordination of them, which must, from the nature of the case, be premature. With this view, he had, at intervals from 1848 to 1866, announced courses on the Natural History of I ntellect, The Natural Method of Mental Philosophy, and Philosophy for the People. He would, he said, give anecdotes of the spirit, a calendar of mental moods, without any pretense of system. None of these attempts, however, disclosed any novelty of method, or, indeed, after the opening statement of his intention, any marked difference from his ordinary lectures.
