Description: Emerson and Self-Reliance, Paperback by Kateb, George, ISBN 0742521451, ISBN-13 9780742521452, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This reprint is distinguished by a new preface reconsidering Emerson's Nature , a work that goes undiscussed in the text proper (Kateb moves toward the notion that Emerson's divinization of humanity renders the balance with nature lost, "its mute appeal denied"). Nonetheless, Kateb (politics, Princeton U.) views Emerson as a radical for his commitment to individualism as an ideal suitable for democracy. Emerson calls it "self-reliance" and Kateb distinguishes between the mental and active kinds, suggesting Emerson elevates intellectual independence above independence of character and practical achievement. Nietzsche is held up as Emerson's best reader, Kateb aspiring to a reading of Emerson friendly to Nietzsche's interests. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
