Emerson's Nonlinear Nature
"Examines Emersonian naturalism from the standpoint of nonlinearity, offering new ways of reading and thinking about Emerson's stance toward nature and the influence of science on his thought. Windolph breaks new ground by exploring how considerations of shape and the act of seeing underpin all of Emerson's theories about nature"--Provided by publisher.

Blowing Clover, Falling Rain
The field of theopoetics explores the ways in which we “make God” (present)—particularly through language. This book explores questions of theopoetics as they relate to the central poetry of the American Sublime. It offers a fresh, theological engagement with what literary critic Harold Bloom terms the American religion (transcendentalism: Emerson’s homespun mysticism). Specifically, it seeks to rehabilitate Emerson’s concept of self-reliance from the charge of gross egoism, by situating it in the context of normative mysticisms Eastern and Western. It undertakes a more poetic approach to reading theologically-inflected poetry, by exegeting four poets collectively constituting Bloo...
Mind in Nature
This collection of essays written by leading Whitehead scholars bridges two important philosophical movements in Western philosophy separated by many centuries: Neo-Platonism and Process Philosophy. It focuses on a variety of topics, which can be found in both theories, including creativity, temporality, holism, potentiality, causality, evolution, organism, and multiplicities. They all concur with an integral, natural worldview, showing that wholeness, complexity, and indivisibility are prevalent in Nature. All in all, it brings together Neo-Platonism and Process Philosophy through the impact the former had on the latter. This volume shows that process philosophy can contribute to an integral worldview as it draws on ancient philosophy, setting new paradigms for novel approaches to nature, science and metaphysics.
Alone in America
With more people living alone today than at any time in U.S. history, Ferguson investigates loneliness in American fiction, from its mythological beginnings in Rip Van Winkle to the postmodern terrors of 9/11. At issue is the dark side of a trumpeted American individualism. Ferguson shows that we can learn, from our literature, how to live alone.
Quattro conferenze sulla storia naturale
Le prime quattro conferenze di Emerson, dedicate alla storia naturale, sono una fonte essenziale per la comprensione del suo pensiero. Non soltanto contengono molte delle intuizioni che confluiranno in Nature (1836), il manifesto del trascendentalismo americano, e nei saggi della maturità, ma offrono anche uno spaccato dei suoi interessi scientifici e filosofici, non di rado mostrando tratti di sconcertante attualità. Decifrando il libro della natura, il naturalista impara cos’è l’essere umano e qual è il suo ruolo. L’originale stato di penuria induce allo sviluppo della tecnica, ma comporta anche il rischio dell’alienazione della natura e dell’oscuramento delle verità morali che essa rivela. La pubblicazione della traduzione di The Uses of Natural History (1833), On the Relation of Man to the Globe (1833-1834), Water (1833-1834), e The Naturalist (1834), corredata di apparato critico e saggio introduttivo, colma una lacuna negli studi emersoniani in Italia.
Nature suivi de Société et solitude
Vers la fin de l’année 1844, Emerson acquiert à Concord, dans l’État du Massachusetts, un terrain au bord d’un vaste étang. Cet étang, c’est Walden. Thoreau y vivra pendant deux ans, dans une cabane, et de cette expérience tirera Walden, ou la Vie dans les bois. Sans Emerson, donc, pas de Walden. Ami et mentor de Thoreau, Emerson est l’un des premiers grands philosophes américains. Chef de file du transcendantalisme, il entre en scène avec un essai, Nature, où il défend l’idée que la nature est un grand tout, plein et harmonieux, dans lequel le Soi devrait se fondre. Il entérine par là une vision nouvelle de la nature, vivant de son existence propre, sans l’homme ...
