Emerson, the Philosopher of Oppositions

Beschreibung

Goodman shows how Emerson's essays embody sets of oppositions or 'contrary tendencies,' and argues that we miss the living nature of Emerson's philosophy if we fail to register the motions within his essays and the ways in which he dramatizes instability, spontaneity, and inconsistency within them.
