(Language: English)
This is the book that started American Transcendentalism. By fusing Christianity and philosophy as a Christian philosophy, similar in tone to Schleiermacher, and with the influence of Kant, Coleridge, with the aid of James Marsh, president of the university of Vermont, discussed the human as divine, rather than religion as a "common sense" approach to explaining God.

(Language: English)
This futuristic book is still as pertinent today as it was when it was written; a warning of what happens when the right swings too far right and human rights cease to exist.
