“Every heart vibrates to that iron string….” Transcendentalism “Every heart vibrates to that iron string….”

Transcendentalism- Definition The belief that truths about life and death can be reached by going outside the world of the senses.

What promoted the movement? Rise of cities Class Systems War Freedom from the past Freedom from organized religion Greed/Manifest Destiny

Transcendentalism Transcendentalists believed that intuition and the individual conscience “transcend” experience and are thus better guides to truth than are the senses and reason.

Transcendentalism Influenced by Romanticism, the Transcendentalists respected the individual spirit and the natural world, believing that divinity was everywhere, in nature and in each person.

Characteristics of Transcendentalism Nature Nature is divine • Nature holds the truths of life • To communicate and be one with nature is true goodness • Nature is innocence and an escape from the evils of society

Characteristics of Transcendentalism Individualism Rejection of standard societal beliefs Inner truth is the only thing that matters The soul is something equally available to all people Fulfillment comes from knowing one’s self, not wealth, gender or education

Characteristics of Transcendentalism Moral Enthusiasm Anti- Artistocracy Anti-Slavery Pro-Women’s Rights Quest for Utopia ( Brook Farm)

SELF-RELIANCE Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.“ Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
