爱默生作为美国伟大的思想家、文学家、文学批评家,超验主义的发言人,他崇尚个人主义,呼吁大家正视自己的能力,依靠自己的智慧和理解力,正视现实,重视眼前,从思想上彻底摆脱英国文化的束缚,自立自强。爱默生对个人主义的呼声,与当时的美国文学附庸于英国文学的大气候是背道而驰的,在精神上指引了当时的美国文人,引领了美国的第一次文艺复兴。 Emerson, as a great thinker, writer, literary critic and transcendental spokesman in the United States, advocates individualism and urges everyone to face up to their own capabilities and rely on their own wisdom and understanding to face reality and attach importance to the present Thought completely free from the shackles of British culture, self-reliance. Emerson’s call for individualism ran counter to the prevailing climate of British literary cloning of American literature at that time, mentoring the then American literati and leading the first Renaissance in the United States.
