«Self-Reliance and Other Essays» is the collection of essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson, published by Dover Publications in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Emerson defends trust in one's own intuition against social conformity and advocates an authentic life. The volume brings together six essays, including «Self-Reliance», «History» and «Friendship», as well as the Harvard Divinity School address, and reflects his moral idealism and transcendentalist thought.
The six essays and the address come from Essays, First Series (1841) and Essays, Second Series (1844); the book belongs to the Dover Thrift Editions series.
For readers of philosophy, classic essays and American thought, as well as for those approaching the transcendentalist movement.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, minister, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and critical thinking, as well as a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society and conformity. The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche thought he was "the most gifted of the Americans", and Walt Whitman called Emerson his "master".
