This book gives the first complete, fully historicized account of
Emerson's metaphysics of cause and effect and its foundational
position in his philosophy as a whole. Urbas tells the story of the
making of a metaphysician and in so doing breaks with the
postmodern, anti-metaphysical readings that have dominated Emerson
scholarship since his philosophical rehabilitation began in late
1970s. This is an intellectual biography of Emerson the
metaphysician but also a chapter in the cultural life-story of a
concept synonymous, in the Transcendentalist period, with life
itself, the story of the principle at the origin of all being and
change. Emerson's Metaphysics proposes an account of Emerson's
metaphysical thought as it unfolds in his writings, as it informs
his philosophy as a whole, and as it reflects the intellectual and
religious culture in which he lived and moved and had his being.
This book will be of interest to philosophers, literary scholars,
and students of English, philosophy, and intellectual and religious
history who are interested in Emerson and the American
Transcendentalist movement.
