◆Bring out the elements of transcendentalism and anti-transcendentalism from The Scarlet Letter.

  Hello, friends today I would like to share information about the 'Transcendentalism and Anti - Transcendentalism. So, this discussion will be very interesting for us. So let's start...

Meaning of Transcendentalism?

      Transcendentalism An idealistic philosophical and social movement which developed in New England around 1836 in reaction to rationalism. Influenced by romanticism, Platonism, and Kantian philosophy, it taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity, and its members held progressive views on feminism and communal living. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were central figures. 

◆Meaning of Anti-Transcendentalism?


   "Anti-Transcendentalism was an opposition movement to the Transcendentalist." The Transcendentalist were writers who supported the beauty of Nature, the kindness of Humans and a distrust in government. So, it's grounded in the German philosophical though of Hegel, Kant and other which defined it philosophically.


   Here I want to write two quotes by famous writers and than easy to understand this point. Let's see...

  

◆ Quote from Melville 


“If, at my death, my executors, or more properly my creditors, find any precious manuscripts in my desk, then here I prospectively ascribe all the honor and glory to whaling; for the whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.”


◆ Quoye by Nathaniel Hawthorne



“As the moral gloom of the world overpowers all systematic gaiety, even so was their home of wild mirth made desolate amid the sad forest.”

“The Maypole of Merrymount “(1836)
