The Transcendentalists
In the story Nature I think that the man who was writing the story was talking about how man and the earth work together. I think that they think that work is the only way to keep the world turning. In the story Self-Reliance the person who is talking in the story is talking about how work is a way that boys grow up to be men. I think that they wanted people to know that working is a way to manhood. And last but not least in the story Resistance to civil government they were saying how the government is not all that great. I real don’t know what that has to do with transcendentalists, but oh well.
I think that the wilderness video was a great example of transcendental philosophy because I think that the man that went to the wilderness believed that it was better to do your own work then to let people do it for him. He spent time with the animals, he built his own cabin, and he also hunted for his food. It seemed to me like he wanted to be one with nature and he it seemed like he did a good job doing so.
He made a document on everything that he did in the wilderness. I’m surprised he didn’t get hurt doing any of the things that he did. I know that If I did that I would probably get hurt the first day.
