Ralph Waldo Emerson, an important figure in the popular
understanding of America has been rediscovered by scholars and
critics, yet there has been no critical study of Emerson"s relation
to traditional nineteenth-century questions about ethics and
epistemology. In Emerson"s Epistemology David Van Leer turns to
this unexplored area of Emerson"s philosophy and especially to the
problem of his relation to the central intellectual issue of his
age - the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant. Although
Emerson would throughout his life try a number of vocational roles,
he considered himself primarily a thinker. He saw his roles as poet
and prophet as versions of the more fundamental one of philosopher.
Thus an understanding of Emerson"s relation to traditional problems
about the theory of knowledge clarifies not only the arguments of
the specific essays, but the shape of his complex career.
