The America we know today is so different in its fundamental views about almost every aspect of life as to be unrecognizable to our countrymen of two centuries ago. On issues as divergent as slavery, women's rights, education, the environment, and many others, we are simply no longer the country we were.What is the source of not only these changes, but of our distinctly American way of experiencing ourselves-confident in our value as individuals, certain of our ability to discover truths, self-reliant in the face of uncertainty and change?

Great social/historical take on transcendentalism
Revisado: 11-17-15
If you could sum up Emerson, Thoreau, and the Transcendentalist Movement in three words, what would they be?
Social historical importance
What about Professor Ashton Nichols’s performance did you like?
He was clear and concise, bringing life to the characters.
Any additional comments?
This course focused mostly on the social and historical aspects of the transcendental movement. It does so by recounting the life stories and philosophies of a wide cast of characters that participated in this movement. I was hoping for more of a focus on the philosophic and spiritual underpinnings of the movement. These are explained briefly in the first few lectures, but the majority of the course focuses on how the transcendentalists shaped American history, culture, politics, and education.
