Описание: Nature is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and published by James Munroe and Company in 1836. 1] In the essay Emerson put forth the foundation of transcendentalism, a belief system that espouses a non-traditional appreciation of nature. 2] Transcendentalism suggests that the divine, or God, suffuses nature, and suggests that reality can be understood by studying nature. 3] Emersons visit to the Mus um National dHistoire Naturelle in Paris inspired a set of lectures he later delivered in Boston which were then published. Within the essay, Emerson divides nature into four usages: Commodity, Beauty, Language and Discipline. These distinctions define the ways by which humans use nature for their basic needs, their desire for delight, their communication with one another and their understanding of the world. 4] Emerson followed the success of Nature with a speech, The American Scholar, which together with his previous lectures laid the foundation for transcendentalism and his literary career. In Nature, Emerson lays out and attempts to solve an abstract problem: that humans do not fully accept natures beauty. He writes that people are distracted by the demands of the world, whereas nature gives but humans fail to reciprocate. The essay consists of eight sections: Nature, Commodity, Beauty, Language, Discipline, Idealism, Spirit and Prospects. Each section takes a different perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. In the essay Emerson explains that to experience the wholeness with nature for which we are naturally suited, we must be separate from the flaws and distractions imposed on us by society. Emerson believed that solitude is the single mechanism through which we can be fully engaged in the world of nature, writing To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars.
