| Sommario/riassunto: | Michael J. Colacurcio's 'Emerson and Other Minds' delves into the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, focusing on his exploration of the individual mind's isolation and its engagement with the world. Colacurcio analyzes Emerson's essays to reveal his rigorous idealism and examines fundamental questions of epistemology, human consciousness, and language. The book highlights Emerson's intellectual journey from his early sermons to his later essays, emphasizing his engagement with contemporary philosophers and the Christian tradition he inherited. It also addresses Emerson's social and political views, including his stance on slavery and democracy. This scholarly work is intended for readers with an interest in philosophy, literature, and American intellectual history. |
