TRANSDANTALISM

Introduction :

This blog is a response to my thinking activity on transcendentalism. It is an American movement. Here Firstly I shared   the viewpoint of poets and  writers related to nature then I shared my view on this. 

What is Transdentalism?

Realted to this topic here are two questions as thinking activity , here I gave answer of this questions as per my understanding.

( 1)What are your views about nature?

So,  in this point there is two major writers who shared their views on the nature

Ralph Waldo Emerson :For Emerson, nature is not God but the body of God's soul—"nature," he writes, is "mind precipitated." Emerson feels that to fully realise one's role in this respect is to be in paradise. He ends "Nature" with these words: "Every moment instructs, and every object; for wisdom is infused into every form.

Henry David throue :When Thoreau perceives nature, he sees an inexhaustible source of wisdom, beauty, and spiritual nourishment. He regards it with great respect and awe while also having with it an intimate familiarity and comfort.

My views on nature:Nature is a source of silence  by which you can  share every joy and grief with nature. Nature is a source of wisdom which gives you wisdom at every stage of your life. It gives pleasure  as well as answers to all your problems. In nature there are trees, birds and many other things which give lessons for life  as birds teach  you that you can fly in the whole sky but it is your responsibility to take care of your own flying.

Transcendentalism is an American Philosophy that influenced American Literature at length. Can you find any Indian/Regional literature or Philosophy that came up with such similar thoughts?

Ans:Transcendentalism  mainly deals with three aspects and these aspects are

1 Individualism

2 Idealism

3 Divinity of nature

As transcendentalism influenced many American texts likewise it also influenced Indian literature for example  the white tiger of arvind adiga deals with individuality. In which adiga tries to define India.

2.idealism

Instead of valuing logic and learned knowledge as many trandentalist do at that  time but in this aspect it is placed by imagination  and creativity. 

In the Indian literature poet vinod joshi who wrote a poem of sairandhri also deals with the same kind of idea.

3 Divinity of nature 

Transcendentalists didn't  believe in organised   religion  but  they were  very spiritual.  They believed that humans have a close connection with  nature. As Wordsworth describes nature, the same kind of idea this aspect has.
