Self Reliance -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

From the spiritual to the economic, Emerson's Self-Reliance details the various aspects of a man's ability to rely on himself for survival. This 19th century essay resolutely supports Emerson's life-long belief in individualism and encourages mankind to pass over practices like conformity and false consistency for following intuition and instincts instead. Rather than promoting ideas of anti-society, Emerson asserts self-reliance is a starting point for a more efficient society, and not an end goal.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ralph Waldo Emerson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Empire Books<br><b>Published:</b> 12/06/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 36<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.14lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781619490949<p></p>
