Excerpt from Emersons Essay on CompensationThese thoughts on government, religion, and art alike, are colored by democracy. The exclusive in fashionable life does not see that he excludes himself from enjoyment, in the attempt to appropriate it. The exclusionist in religion does not see that he shuts the door of heaven on himself in striving to shut out others. The best part of a writer has nothing pri vate in it.

Ce una sola mente comune a tutti gli uomini individui.Ciascun uomo e adito ad essa ed a tutto cio che ad essa appartiene.Colui, che una volta e ammesso al diritto della ragione, diviene completamente libero; cio che Platone ha pensato, egli puo pensare, cio che un santo ha sentito, egli puo sentire, cio che in ogni tempo a ciascun uomo e accaduto, egli puo comprendere. Chi possiede questa universale mente partecipa di tutto cio che e o puo essere fatto, poiche questa e lunico e sovrano agente.

Cuando el influyente critico Harold Bloom, el autor de la célebre obra sobre el canon occidental, echa la vista atrás para descubrir los orígenes de su propia cultura americana, descubre que una personalidad gigantesca destaca por encima de cualquier otra: la figura de Ralph Waldo Emerson, tambien conocido como el sabio de Concord. En los ensayos de este autor fundamental, pueden rastrearse los origenes de varias corrientes de pensamiento, religion y arte que singularizan el mundo contemporaneo hasta nuestros dias.El trascendentalismo de R. W. Emerson, su investigacion de la unidad que subyace tras toda diversidad, su intima comprension de la ley de causalidad y de la interconexion que teje los lazos entre todo lo existente, es una pedagogia revolucionaria y optimista que señala al lector sus posibilidades latentes para llegar a ser aquello para lo que ha nacido.

La fuerza de la escritura de Emerson es un hecho incontrovertible. De pocos autores modernos puede afirmarse con la misma rotundidad que de Emerson que sus libros "leen" a sus lectores, antes que ser leidos por ellos. Renovar el sentido de sus paginas significa, por tanto, renovar nuestra capacidad de leer, de leer en ellas indicios de que este mundo no tendra verdaderos fundadores a menos que sea descubierto por nosotros. La renovacion de la mirada y el consiguiente trastorno de las convicciones han convertido a Emerson, como decia Dewey, en el paradigmatico filosofo de la democracia. El libro esta magnificamente ilustrado por Eugenia Çbalos.

Emerson es el ensayista más importante de Estados Unidos. Pero es algo más: él, que tan bien escribió sobre los hombres representativos, es a su vez un “hombre simbólico”. Sin Emerson no puede entend
