Poets with tag Transcendentalism:

Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement that developed in the late 1820s and 1830s in the eastern region of the United States. The founding movement was a reaction to or protest against the general state of intellectualism and spirituality.

Transcendentalism is rooted in English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Herder and Schleiermacher, the skepticism of Hume, and the transcendental philosophy of Immanuel Kant and of German Idealism. It was also influenced by Indian religions, especially the Upanishads.

A core belief stems in belief of the inherent goodness of both people and nature. Transcendentalists believe that society and its institutions ultimately corrupted the purity of the individual, and have faith that people are at their best when truly "self-reliant" and independent.

Their intellectual preoccupations were traditionally less reliant on objective empiricism, and more on subjective intuition. They believed that individuals were capable of generating completely original insights with as little attention and deference to past masters as possible.
