On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media. He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality.

When the original writers of transcendentalism detailed their experiences, they had no idea of the magnitude of self-reflection they would trigger. The practice of such a thing was entitled Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism is the view that the basic truths of the universe lie beyond the knowledge we obtain from our senses, reason and logic, or laws of science. Transcendentalism being one of these philosophies transformed the common mindset to a.
Transcendentalism is a simple, yet complex idea. Transcendentalism Theme is written by Amelia Westplate. Transcendentalism movement in American literature. Today everybody live in a modern world. In the s, a philosophy known as transcendentalism arose in early America.
This philosophy soon developed into the transcendentalist movement. When I was first exposed to the concept of Transcendentalism in my English class, the idea seemed farfetched and rather abstract. Upon further readings. Kurt is the founder of Transcendentalism Today and it goes by the following definition; "Transcendentalism Today is not a religion but is the attempted logic and rationality that can and should be applied to them.
It is a conglomeration of similar, but diverse ideas about literature, religion, culture and philosophy. A system of philosophy emphasizing the intuitive and spiritual above the empirical and material. If logic is implemented in religions then we have the beginning of rational spirituality rather than religions that are nourished and sustained by superstitions. Truthfulness and rationality in religions are truths that can be substantiated by science or those that can not be proven to be wrong.
Logic dictates that spiritual interaction is only possible between the Spirit of God and the spirit of man; claims of supernatural acts performed by physical or spiritual beings in the physical universe are not rational. Is mankind incapable of accepting these truths?
As a whole, I think that they are modern-day transcendentalists, but have changed the official definition of what it means to be one. Technology, and an ever changing world as altered the meaning of this term. I think it's possible to be a modern transcendentalist. Of the theories we've studied transcentalisism was the most recently created.
The older philosophies are capable of modernizing so it make sense that transcendentalism should be able to as well. As our society changes it forces ideas previously invented to change with the rest of the world.
The ideas behind transcendentalism like minimal government involvement, corruption created by society, the inportance of learning from nature and self sufficienty, are ideas people still believe in today.
People like Julia Butterfly Hill for example have demonstrated several of those beliefs. Just because a person does not share all the beliefs of previous transcendentalists does not mean they can't be a transcendentalist.
As the world has changed ideas have been forced to change as well todays trancendentalist encompass many of the previous trancendental beliefs but also help create some of their own adding on to the changing meaning of transcendentalism. Yes, it is possible to be a modern transcentalist because of the different degrees of transcendentalism. As society changes, people's ideas of the world begin to change and new perspectives are being developed.
I also with Jordan when she says transcendentalism is one of the most recent philosophies. It is entirely possible because of how recent it is; it's hard to lose a concept in such a short period of time - it usually takes much longer. Even if the theory ever begins to lose its shape in the world, and it becomes distorted, I believe someone will always find it again and look at it in their own way; much like the two people did in the videos we watched.
I do believe that it is possible to be a modern day transcendentalist. The story of Kurt Kawohl is a perfect example. His perspective on life changed the day he had a near death experience. His biography has references to encountering with a "supreme spirit" and ever since that encounter, he has not been taking life for granted. Even though Kawohl did not live his whole life in the untamed nature, he is still a modern day transcendentalist because of his values, morals and actions.
I do not believe that it is possible to be a modern transcendentalist today because of the corruption of nature from other sources. I the world of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, the fact is that the social, economic and political world has taken over in every part of the world, even nature.
Yes, we do have National Parks and protected forests but those too have been corrupted by people and buildings. There is no way possible that a person can be a transcendentalist today because at least some of the drive of being a transcendentalist would be from the works and doings of the government, or the people, or politics which is government and people. I do believe that there can be a modern day tanscententalists. It's hard to completely step out of society with everything we are used to.
It's easier to follow it in comparison to other philosophies we have studied in this semester, in that it's more recent and more logical. Julia butterfly hill is not a transcentalist in my mind.
I strongly feel this mostly because she doesn't break free of society. She doesn;t live off of and within nature, she has others bring her food and water. She depended on society's resources to save the worlds resources. She is more a modern day environmentalist. I do not believe it is possible to be a modern transcendentalist in the world today because of the impact society has on an individual.
Yes Julia Butterfly Hill had a strong connection to nature, but after reading her story one might ask if she chose to live in the tree Luna to connect with nature or was her experience more of a rebellion against the company planning to cut Luna down.
A transcendentalist's journey should contain some control and self preservation, but it seems that those attempting to be transcendentalists in today's world lack those qualities because they want themselves to be seen as a free spirited individual who can do as they chose. I feel that a true transcendentalist is an individual who makes a journey without thinking of societies viewpoint and makes choices for the strict purpose of connecting with nature.
I believe that it is possible to be a modern transcendentalist in our world today, but I think it would be extremely difficult to really capture the true definition of what people mean by 'modern. I believe that Julia Butterfly Hill was one of the closest examples we can get to a 'modern transcendentalist. Yes, times have changed, but along with those changes comes many issues and change in opinions. Julia Butterfly Hill took it upon herself to protect a piece of the nature that she loves.
She literally put her life on the line in order to save just one tree, also in an attempt to make a statement to potentially save many others. One of the people who was a strong believer of transcendentalism was Thoreau. He believed in living simply just like modern days Lenard skynard. I read a book wrote by a transcendentalist named Thoreau.
He was a simple kind of man that was all about being simple. He moved out of town to a cabin in the woods next to walden pond. By that statement he is saying. Dean Grodzins is a Harvard-educated historian, and a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Historical Society specializing in midth century American history.
Primarily, I would focus on the validity of an ideal depiction of nature and the effects of nature on human thought and feelings. The following is an excerpt of my observations and findings: A soft wind chills my spine as I enter the woods, sparse and grey. The drooping branches grab loosely at me, like zombies pulling. When looking at the transcendentalist movement, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau would be the first names usually associated with this term.
However, even in the years after, there were still individuals practicing transcendental concepts. Civil rights leaders Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Not only did Thoreau greatly influence them, but both of these leaders are significantly relevant to the idea.
People are easily influenced and persuaded by higher authorities. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a key figure in the Transcendentalist movement. This movement promoted ideas of intuition, independence, and inherent goodness in humans and nature. Henry David Thoreau like Emerson, believed that the government abuses its control especially. Authors and philosophers of the time started to use intuition, and a spiritual way of looking at things.
One of the main figures of American transcendentalism was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph Waldo Emerson is a transcendentalist author. The new beliefs and concepts that came about developed into the broad era of transcendentalism. The transcendentalist movement took place in the nineteenth century, and emerged.
