transcendentalist

Henry David Thoreau was part of the Transcendentalist movement, so the book reflects a lot of that philosophy.

The Transcendentalist school, in particular Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, also provided some interesting flavor.

If you'd like me to read the words for you, tap the picture of the transcendentalist turtle.

The more transcendentalist amongst us call it the Buddha, the folks with a more philosophical bent call it existential nausea.

Now you might be suspicious, but we know from analyzing transcendentalist literature that the pronunciation of names is a symbol.

For one thing, it is a transcendentalist tribute, the contours of which are predictable: an intellectual living in Boston owns a vacation home in Maine.

Anyone notice the parallels between this and the transcendentalist movement?

The Transcendentalist practically gave young America its voice following independence.

I know a bit about the transcendentalist movement of the early 19th century.

You're right about the vague transcendentalist nonsense.

Ask any one of these people to quantify how their view on reality changed and it'll be vague transcendentalist talking points and hand waving around things like something something spiritualism, something something deeper connection with nature, something something cosmic holographic kaleidoscopic reality.

I wonder if a lot of this goes back to early 20th-century businessmen who tried to apply Transcendentalist thought to business, promoting unity and loyalty by creating a feeling of a noble cause in their employees (Charles Ives, an insurance executive and composer, is the example I'm most familiar with).

There's a weird contingent of people, specifically in IT fields who have these bizarre rose tinted transcendentalist glasses about living "naturally".

I tried to do this myself with Ralph "Where's Waldo" Emerson (I was a transcendentalist nut for a while); soon I found my sentences littered with semi-non-semi: colons everywhere.

I guess one could be an apologist and focus on "foolish," but that turns the quote into, "Consistency is bad, except when it isn't." Why do people even care about random quotes from a crazy transcendentalist?

From the first link, > "In the early 19th century the Transcendentalists propagated the idea of a metaphysical Truth and universalism" So it seems it was not a coincidence Emerson stuck out to me when I first read him (Emerson was a foundational Transcendentalist).

> Paying homage to the long-dead Transcendentalist, some people are building full-scale replicas of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden cabin.

Transcendentalist: You need to take some flying lessons.
