What did the transcendentalist believe?

Answer 1

Transcendentalist Beliefs -The spiritual unity of all forms of being with God, Humanity, and Nature all sharing a universal soul, the Over soul -The inherent goodness (divinity!) of Man and Nature -The value of individualism -The belief that the natural world is symbolic of the spirit world -The "Lemon Pie" theory (to know the part is to know the whole) -That Society is the source of corruptible, distracting materialism -That Man is naturally good, even divine, because of his Divine Intellect -That Nature is inherently good because it is symbolic of the spirit (God) --That God, the Over soul, is the universal soul that permeates all being (much like "the Force")
