{"product_id":"ralph-waldo-emerson-book-ralph-waldo-emerson-9781537062150","title":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","description":"A new, wide-ranging selection of Ralph Waldo Emerson's most influential writings, this edition captures the essence of American Transcendentalism and illustrates the breadth of one of America's greatest philosophers and poets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe writings featured here show Emerson as a protester against social conformity, a lover of nature, an activist for the rights of women and slaves, and a poet of great sensitivity. As explored in this volume, Emersonian thought is a unique blend of belief in individual freedom and in humility before the power of nature. I become a transparent eyeball, Emerson wrote in Nature, I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God. Written over a century ago, this passage is a striking example of the passion and originality of Emerson's ideas, which continue to serve as a spiritual center and an ideological base for modern thought.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50389745008913,"sku":"CIN1537062158G","price":27.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1537062158.jpg?v=1751374161","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/ralph-waldo-emerson-book-ralph-waldo-emerson-9781537062150","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
