Excerpt from A Memoir of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Vol. 2 of 2
The subject was Human Life; the soul, the universal principle in man, unfolding itself in the individual. The course might have been called Lectures on Transcendentalism; a summing-up of What was to be said for and against the new views. The indications of development, he says, are not always agreeable facts. It begins with protest and rejection, with turbulence and revolution, and thoughtful persons are apt to overlook, in the rude and partial expressions, the truth they prefigure It is like the rubbish and confusion that go before the building of a new city; they are not agreeable, but they may be welcomed for the sake of What they announce, at least for the symptoms of life and progress.

At the heart of the book is Emerson's belief in the inherent divinity and potential of humanity, a belief that led him to champion individual self-reliance, nonconformity, and the pursuit of truth.
