transcendentalism

"Transcendentalism taught that a humane and loving God would not lead so many people into destruction as traditional Christian religion professed. Truth would be sought in transcendentalism, truth that exists within the very being of all". I think we can see this idea still at work in America 200 years after the early American transcendentalists began. Social reform is something we all can work on. Emerson wrote: "We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men."
