| Summary: | "That belief we term Transcendentalism which maintains that man has ideas, that come not through the five senses, or the powers of reasoning; but are either the result of direct revelation from God, his immediate inspiration, or his immanent presence in the spiritual world. Every feeling and every thought seeks to express itself in some form; man needs excitement for his feelings, suggestions for his thought, aids to his devotion. With these we need not meddle now; our inquiry is in relation to Transcendentalism and its influences. We ask what it is and how does it appear--not whether it is consistent with the world as it is"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved). |
