Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American
essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the transcendentalist
movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced
the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
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. As a result of this
ground breaking work he gave a speech entitled The American Scholar in
1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's
"Intellectual Declaration of Independence".[1] Emerson once said "Make
the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you."[2]
Considered one of the great orators of the time, Emerson's enthusiasm
and respect for his audience enraptured crowds. His support for
abolitionism late in life created controversy, and at times he was
subject to abuse from crowds while speaking on the topic, however this
was not always the case. When asked to sum up his work, he said his
central doctrine was "the infinitude of the private man."[3]
