PAL: American Transcendentalism:ABrief Introduction Note: Nineteenth Century American Transcendentalism is not a religion (in the traditional sense of the word); it is a pragmatic philosophy, a state of mind, and a form of spirituality. Transcendentalism as a movement is rooted in the American past: To Puritanism it owed its pervasive morality and the "doctrine of divine light." It is also similar to the Quaker "inner light." However, both these concepts assume acts of God, whereas intuition is an act of an individual. Transcendentalism was a philosophical, literary, social, and theological movement. www.csustan.edu /english/reuben/pal/chap4/4intro.html   (2564 words)

Transcendentalism Transcendentalism is an American literary, political, and philosophical movement of the early nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Equally important for the emerging philosophy of transcendentalism was the work of James Marsh (1794-1842), a graduate of Andover and the president of the University of Vermont. For many of the transcendentalists the term "transcendentalism" represented nothing so technical as an inquiry into the presuppositions of human experience, but a new confidence in and appreciation of the mind's powers, and a modern, non-doctrinal spirituality. plato.stanford.edu /entries/transcendentalism   (4101 words)

Transcendentalism Transcendentalism was a nineteenth-century literary and philosophical movement associated with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and a small but active circle of New England educators, religious leaders, and social reformers. Transcendentalism is in many respects an intellectual potpourri, a New England chowder blended from a variety of philosophical and religious ingredients, both foreign and domestic. Transcendentalism is more an outlook or frame of mind than an actual philosophy--though it is still possible to identify a few basic beliefs and fundamental principles. condor.depaul.edu /~dsimpson/awtech/amertran.html   (958 words)

New England Transcendentalism The Transcendental emphasis on the oneness of individual souls with nature and with God gave dignity and importance to human activity and made possible a belief in the power to effect social change in harmony with God's purposes. Transcendental philosophy, on the other hand, was based on the premise that truth is innate in all of creation and that knowledge of it is intuitive rather than rational. The term "Transcendental," in fact, came from the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), in which Kant declared, "I call all knowledge transcendental which is concerned, not with objects, but with our mode of knowing objects so far as this is possible a priori" (that is, independent of experience). www.concordma.com /magazine/nov98/trans.html   (1362 words)

Kurt Kawohl - Wikiquote "Transcendentalism Today is a new way of interpreting spirituality and can influence the beginning of a new realization in many religions. I disregarded my first interaction but when 40 years later I had the 2nd and 3rd interaction, I know that God wants me to convey a message which is that God is not a fascist or dictator and is the supreme rationality, not a Lord or magician. Truthfulness of any spiritual interaction is validated in the same way as what is portrayed in the Bible by gauging that if it were presented TODAY; whether there is a reasonable possibility that it can happen and whether this occurrence is physically or spiritually possible. en.wikiquote.org /wiki/Kurt_Kawohl   (1361 words)

transcendentalism, American literary and philosophical movement It originated among a small group of intellectuals who were reacting against the orthodoxy of Calvinism and the rationalism of the Unitarian Church, developing instead their own faith centering on the divinity of humanity and the natural world. Although transcendentalism was never a rigorously systematic philosophy, it had some basic tenets that were generally shared by its adherents. The beliefs that God is immanent in each person and in nature and that individual intuition is the highest source of knowledge led to an optimistic emphasis on individualism, self-reliance, and rejection of traditional authority. www.infoplease.com /ce6/ent/A0849256.html   (362 words)

Conclusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) As a distinct movement, Transcendentalism had disintegrated by the dawn of civil war; twenty years later its shining lights had all faded: George Ripley and Jones Very died in 1880, Emerson in 1882, Orestes Brownson in 1876, Bronson Alcott in 1888. The modern mind believed that the nation existed for the individual, for the guardianship and education of every man. This idea, roughly written in revolutions and national movements, in the mind of the philosopher had far more precision; the individual is the world. The Transcendentalists had stood at the vanguard of the "new consciousness" Emerson recalled so fondly, and it is for their intellectual and moral fervor that we remember them now as much as for their religious philosophy; the light of Transcendentalism today burns strongest on the page and in the classroom, rather than from the pulpit. xroads.virginia.edu /~MA95/finseth/conclude.html   (661 words)
