Key writings by one of the most important social reformers of the nineteenth century that speaks to our own turbulent times
Calling on his background as a minister, Ralph Waldo Emerson always brought morality into his political arguments. On issues ranging from women's rights to slavery to Native American land rights, Emerson felt that each individual should look within himself and make political decisions based on his own conscience. Instead of blindly following the government or society's beliefs, Emerson often argued for and practiced dissent, a stance maligned by politicians who were trying to take power from the people.
In The Political Emerson, David M. Robinson has brought together the best of Emerson's essays on politics and social reform. Robinson's introduction explains the reason for this unique collection by laying out the political impact that Emerson's writings had during his own time and beyond.
In this major election year, Emerson's political thought is more valuable than ever. And, as Robinson makes clear in this unique anthology, Emerson's writings can continue to speak to all of us who hope for a more ethical politics.
