Transcedentalism
In the 1800s, a group of writers and philosophers in the United States started a movement known as Transcendentalism. Transcendentalists questioned the rules of society. They believed that it was important to value nature and individual freedom.
Transcendentalism was part of a larger movement called Romanticism. Romanticism stressed the importance of nature and emotion over science, authority, order, and reason. Transcendentalism also rebelled against these values and stressed the importance of following one’s inner feelings and imagination to better understand the world.
