American Transcendentalism and Asian Religions (Religion in America)

Rating:
Summary: very broad subject
Review: Its ALL Asian Religions and ALL transcendentalists; I was really only interested in the emerson stuff, he challenges the old carpenter assertion that Emerson wasn't influenced by Hinduism until late in life, and he also brings up some new thoughts like Intellectual Colonialism (ed said), but I don't think that idea applies to emerson. Yes, emerson divorced the culture of India from the ideas, but he did that with everything, and he did it properly.
