Ralph Waldo Emerson

    25. květen 1803 – 27. duben 1882

    Ralph Waldo Emerson byl americký esejista, básník a vůdčí postava transcendentalismu. Jeho spisy zkoumají víru v 'nadduši' a odmítají tradiční náboženské dogmata ve prospěch vnitřního ducha. Emersonův styl je charakterizován pronikavými aforismy, které obnažují pokrytectví a vyzývají k nezávislému myšlení. Jeho radikální filozofie inspirovala generace myslitelů a spisovatelů, včetně Henryho Davida Thoreaua a Friedricha Nietzscheho, a jeho práce zůstává vlivná i v současnosti.
