Emerson and Self–Culture: American Philosophy

Autor John T. Lysaker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mar 2008
How do I live a good life, one that is deeply personal and sensitive to others? John T. Lysaker suggests that those who take this question seriously need to reexamine the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson. In philosophical reflections on topics such as genius, divinity, friendship, and reform, Lysaker explores "self-culture" or the attempt to remain true to one's deepest commitments. He argues that being true to ourselves requires recognition of our thoroughly dependent and relational nature. Lysaker guides readers from simple self-absorption toward a more fulfilling and responsive engagement with the world.

Recenzii

"A subtle, probing, and insightful reading of an author who appropriately becomes more powerful, less familiar, and more challenging than the figure whom so many of us have perhaps presumed an all too ready and settled familiarity." Vincent Colapietro, Penn State University"A detailed propagation of Emersonianism, lively and sometimes personal in its prose, satisfying in its open, un-ironic commitment to a great precursor, and praiseworthy in its address to a topic that extends far beyond academic matters." Mark Bauerlein, Emory University
