About this listen

In his groundbreaking essay Nature, published anonymously in 1836, Ralph Waldo Emerson lays the cornerstone of transcendentalism—a philosophy that invites us to embrace a profound and non-traditional appreciation of the natural world. With the support of emerging discoveries in zoology, botany, and geology, Emersons insights on the intricate connections within Nature resonate even more powerfully today. This pivotal publication marked a turning point for transcendentalism, establishing it as a significant cultural movement. Influenced by Nature during his time at Harvard, Henry David Thoreau carried its essence into his own writings, leaving an indelible mark on works like his celebrated Walden.
