Více o knize

Exploring the transformative impact of transcendentalism in 1830s and 1840s New England, the author challenges the notion of its atheistic roots. David Faflik argues that the movement reshaped religious sensibilities, leading to a diverse spectrum of beliefs and practices that defy simple classification as either religious or nonreligious. Instead of being labeled as infidelity, followers embraced their unique spiritual expressions as a contemporary form of religion, highlighting the movement's innovative approach to spiritual inquiry.
