Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson Audiobook (Free)

Within one volume are both the Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series in one of the most influential philosophers in American history.

Although Ralph Waldo Emerson, probably America’s most well-known philosopher, didn’t wish to be referred to as a transcendentalist, he’s even so considered the founder of this major motion of nineteenth-century American thought. Emerson was influenced by a liberal spiritual training; theological study; personal connection with the Romanticists about Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson Coleridge, Carlyle, and Wordsworth; and a strong indigenous sense of individualism and self-reliance. Emerson’s greatest work was done between 1836 and 1860, a period which includes his well-known Essays.

These essays contain his most important writing and radiate with sensitivity and wonder. Here Emerson’s prose displays him to be both a vigorous thinker and a deep mystic, a guy of exquisite sense combined with stern moral fibers. His strong love of retirement from life, contemplation from the sublime as well as the mystic, his self-reliance, and his strong character still left their stamp not merely on such authors as Thoreau, Whitman, and Emily Dickinson but also for the American personality at large.
