書籍簡介

先驗論是美國曆史上主要的知識分子運動，主張每個人固有的神性，以及集體社會行動的價值。19世紀中期，這一運動開始興起，改變了美國人對宗教、文學、自然世界、階級差別、婦女角色以及奴隸制存在的看法。

由著名學者勞倫斯·布爾編輯，這本綜合選集包含拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生、亨利·大衞·梭羅、瑪格麗特·富勒和他們的夢想家的基本著作。還有查爾斯·狄更斯、亨利·詹姆斯、沃爾特·惠特曼、路易莎·梅·奧爾科特和納撒尼爾·霍桑對這一運動的反思。這本引人注目的卷介紹了一個傑出的思想家羣體的激進的創新，他們對宗教思想、社會改革、哲學和文學的影響仍在繼續。

Transcendentalism was the first major intellectual movement in U.S. history, championing the inherent divinity of each individual, as well as the value of collective social action. In the mid-nineteenth century, the movement took off, changing how Americans thought about religion, literature, the natural world, class distinctions, the role of women, and the existence of slavery.

Edited by the eminent scholar Lawrence Buell, this comprehensive anthology contains the essential writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, and their fellow visionaries. There are also reflections on the movement by Charles Dickens, Henry James, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. This remarkable volume introduces the radical innovations of a brilliant group of thinkers whose impact on religious thought, social reform, philosophy, and literature continues
