Question Answered step-by-step Emerson’s transcendentalism is a form of “idealism,” which is one… Emerson’s transcendentalism is a form of “idealism,” which is one of the titles of his chapters in Nature. He means idealism as a philosophy, which is a belief that there is something immaterial that exists beyond what we can see in this material world, an “ultimate” reality known to our minds and spirit that lies beyond the material reality we can see with our physical eyes. In what ways does Emerson believe such a view of idealism alters how we see and relate to the material world around us as he argues in Nature and in “Self-Reliance”?
