Emerson And The Disapproval Of Brook Farm And The Utopian Ideas On Social Reform
Authors : Ali Talha Mohammed . Bouhadiba Malika .
Abstract
This article explores how Ralph Waldo Emerson rose as a distinguished literary figure and philosopher of the nineteenth century through insisting on his key principles of Individualism and Self-reliance. The foundational principles of Emerson’s philosophy set him apart from most of the Transcendentalists and reform seekers. The key event that marked his split from the supporters of association and collectiveness was his refusal to join the utopian community of Brook Farm. The arguments he put forth of why he could not be a member of such a society defined his Transcendental ideals pertinently and classified him as a notable thinker of one of the most turbulent times of the antebellum North. Therefore, the understanding of his attitude towards Brook Farm puts Emerson in a special context and helps explain the nature of his later involvements in American national issues such as women’s rights and antislavery.
