{"product_id":"ralph-waldo-emerson","title":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","description":"A new, wide-ranging selection of Ralph Waldo Emerson's most influential writings, this edition captures the essence of American Transcendentalism and illustrates the breadth of one of America's greatest philosophers and poets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe writings featured here show Emerson as a protester against social conformity, a lover of nature, an activist for the rights of women and slaves, and a poet of great sensitivity. As explored in this volume, Emersonian thought is a unique blend of belief in individual freedom and in humility before the power of nature. \"I become a transparent eyeball,\" Emerson wrote in Nature, \"I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.\" Written over a century ago, this passage is a striking example of the passion and originality of Emerson's ideas, which continue to serve as a spiritual center and an ideological base for modern thought.","brand":"Bantam Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803268845800,"sku":"9780553213881","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_6209949d-5ef8-41d9-9189-79aaa10d7709.jpg?v=1790288942","url":"https:\/\/shop.kuumba.app\/products\/ralph-waldo-emerson","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
