Transcendentalist Based on our readings so far, what is a transcendentalist? Henry David Thoreau s Where I Lived, and What I Lived For Walt Whitman s O Captain! My Captain! Let s discuss!
What is transcendentalism? A core belief was in the inherent goodness of both people and nature. They believed that society and its institutions ultimately corrupted the purity of the individual, and had faith that people are at their best when truly "self-reliant" and independent. https://infogalactic.com/info/Transcendentalism

Ralph Waldo Emerson s Excerpts from Self Reliance
Reading and Annotating As I read aloud, please underline any interesting sentences from Ralph Waldo Emerson s Self Reliance. Also, write a question you would ask Emerson about his philosophical beliefs explained in the first 4 paragraphs of Self Reliance. There is a time in every man s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion, that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. (paragraph 1)
