Présentation de l'éditeur :
A ge. By an odd coincidence, four or five noted men were each reading a discourse to the citizens of Boston or New York, on the Spirit of the Times. It so happened that the subject had the same prominence in some remarkable pamphlets and journals issued in London in the same season. To me, however, the question of the times resolves itself into a practical question of the con duct of life. How shall I live? We are incompetent to solve the times. Our geometry cannot span the huge orbits of the prevailing ideas, be hold their return, and reconcile their opposition. We can only obey our own polarity. Tis fine for us to speculate and elect our course, if we must accept an irresistible dictation. In our first steps to gain our wishes, we come upon immovable limitations. We are fired with the hope to reform men. After many experi ments, we find that we must begin earlier, at school.

Biographie de l'auteur :
Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. He gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. He wrote on a number of subjects. He remains among the linchpins of the American romantic movement, and his work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets that have followed him. When asked to sum up his work, he said his central doctrine was "the infinitude of the private man." Starting in 1867, his health began declining; he wrote much less in his journals. Beginning as early as the summer of 1871 or in the spring of 1872, he started having memory problems and suffered from aphasia. By the end of the decade, he forgot his own name at times and, when anyone asked how he felt, he responded, "Quite well; I have lost my mental faculties, but am perfectly well". On April 21, 1882, he was found to be suffering from pneumonia. He died on April 27, 1882 and is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, Massachusetts.

Description du livre Buch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A great American thinker discusses to what extent we control our own destiny, and other central concerns of human life in this collection of essays. Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most important writers of 19th Century America, known for the broad range of his influences and for the optimism of his philosophy. Trained at Harvard Divinity School, he was nevertheless one of the first western thinkers to be deeply affected by Eastern wisdom, particularly the classic Indian spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gita. As the founder of Transcendentalism, the first truly American literary movement, he influenced such major figures as Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman. The Conduct of Life is one of Emerson's most personal works from his mature years. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781605120256
