Emerson, Ralph Waldo (1803–82), American essayist, philosopher, and poet. He was a
Unitarian minister at Boston, Mass., from 1829 to 1832. Later he lectured on literature and philosophy at Concord, Mass. His philosophy was founded on a combination of rationalism and mysticism. It appears that fundamentally he believed in ‘Transcendentalism’—the doctrine that ‘the highest revelation is that God is in every man’. It follows that man contains all that is needful in himself and that even redemption is to be sought within the soul. At least from the 1840s he had wide influence.
