Two Classic Essays by Emerson. Excerpted from Essays, First Series.

Circles is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1841. The essay reflects on the vast array of circles one may find throughout nature and what is suggested by these circles in philosophical terms. In the opening line of the essay, Emerson states, "The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end."

These passages from the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson on religion and spiritual philosophy reveal a metaphysical thought that is quintessentially American and universally relevant to the spiritual needs of today's world. It is seldom that an American philosopher is found among the gurus, mystics, and masters present in the spiritual milieu. Emerson combined the spiritual intuition of the East with the philosophical acumen of the West.

In 1834, Ralph Waldo Emerson, formerly a Unitarian minister, began a new career as a public lecturer. Nature (1836), his first published work, contained the essence of his transcendental philosophy. This collection contains 11 of his most celebrated and memorable essays....

Confianza en uno mismo es uno de los ensayos más emblemáticos de Emerson. Es una llamada a lo esencial de nosotros mismos como propuesta vital, que encarna y resume lo mejor de la filosofía de Emerson: su inconformismo, su vitalismo, su fe en el individuo y en la intuición como fuente de sabiduría. Con estos mimbres, Emerson propone algunos de sus conceptos fundamentales: el hombre debe obedecer la ley sagrada de su propia naturaleza para alcanzar su potencial; el hombre es infinito.

Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays, Essays: First Series (1841) and Essays: Second Series (1844), represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essays "Self-Reliance" and "The Over-Soul". Together with "Nature", these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson's most fertile period.

No hay grande ni pequeño para el alma que lo hace todo. Donde ella llega, todas las cosas están, y llega a todas partes. Yo soy dueño de la esfera, de las siete estrellas y del año solar.

In Nature, Emerson put forth the foundation of transcendentalism, a belief system that espouses a non-traditional appreciation of nature. Transcendentalism suggests that the divine, or God, suffuses nature, and suggests that reality can be understood by studying nature. Self Reliance contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas.

Emerson es el maximo representante del trascendentalismo, una corriente filosofica que impulsa el individualismo, y denuncia la presion de la sociedad sobre el desarrollo personal. Durante sus 78 anos de vida, Emerson dio casi 1,500 conferencias en distintas partes de los Estados Unidos, sobre este tema. Auto-Confianza es una compilacion de algunos de sus mas importantes ensayos, los que el propio Emerson coloco bajo ese nombre.

"Chiunque voglia essere un uomo deve essere un anticonformista", proclama Ralph Waldo Emerson in questa versione audiobook di un saggio che parla di individualità e di fiducia in se stessi, e che se pur composto nel XIX secolo, contiene alcuni elementi ancora perfettamente centrati con l'epoca attuale. L'autore, vissuto nell'America dell'800, in questa famosa opera - come del resto per tutta la sua vita - propone un'etica individuale basata sulla certezza delle proprie idee e dei propri valori.

The essay on Prudence was given as a lecture in a course on Human Culture in the winter of 1837-8. It was published in the first series of essays, which appeared in 1841. In it, Emerson describes Prudence as, "The virtue of the senses and admits to having little of it in himself."

Willa Cather's early poem, "April Twilights," serves as a precursor to themes of love and nature that appear in her later novels.

"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson in Love and Friendship, a collection of essays on relationships. "Before him, I may think aloud. I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them."

Emerson's ideas are alive and well and very much with us today. Consider that Emerson, now an establishment figure, was a rebel in his time. He could find no relevance in established religion. But, unlike others, he set out to reform it. Many of his ideas now seem obvious and as American as apple pie.

This is the best of Emerson's later works, qualifying his earlier popular essays, series one and two, with the heavier hand of experience. The Conduct of Life ostensibly is a set of essays about how to live life but also is an amalgam of what life taught Emerson. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803-April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.
