Since her canonical 2017 essay 'On Liking Women', the Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Andrea Long Chu has established herself as a public intellectual straight out of the 1960s. With devastating wit and polemical clarity, she defies the imperative to leave politics out of art, instead modeling how the left might brave the culture wars without throwing in with the cynics and doomsayers.

Emerson's enduring reputation, however, is as a philosopher, an aphoristic writer (like Friedrich Nietzsche) and a quintessentially American thinker whose championing of the American Transcendental movement and influence on Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, William James, and others would alone secure him a prominent place in American cultural history. Emerson is often characterized as an idealist philosopher and indeed used the term himself of his philosophy, explaining it simply as a recognition that plan always precedes action. Contents:.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay Nature.

Gibt es ausschließlich nur einen Kosmos, oder existieren mehrere nebeneinander? Was war vor dem Kosmos, und wie entstand die Zeit?

In God We Trust, Shepherd's wildly witty reunion with his Indiana hometown, disproves the adage “You can never go back.”

«الحياة بسيطة عندما تبدأ بنا. تتسع لكل شيءٍ حتى لأحلامنا العالقة بالسماء. كلما لامس جبيني الأرض في السجود، واختزنت عيناي بالدموع وملأني خشوع وانكسار؛ ذكرت ذاك الوعد الذي قطعته على نفسي بسجدة ودعاء، رددتها بكل كبرياء وثقة، بكل أمل وبكل حياة، فالجبناء وحدهم من يفشلون في مواجهة أقدارهم، ولا يستطيعون الركض باتجاه أنفسهم والعودة من جديد».
