In Nature, Emerson lays the foundation of transcendentalism, a philosophical movement that believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature. The essay consists of eight sections: Nature, Commodity, Beauty, Language, Discipline, Idealism, Spirit and Prospects. Each section adopts a different perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
