Transcendentalism
First published Thu Feb 6, 2003; substantive revision Fri Aug 30, 2019
Transcendentalism is an American literary, philosophical, religious, and political movement of the early nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other important transcendentalists were Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Lydia Maria Child, Amos Bronson Alcott, Frederic Henry Hedge, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and Theodore Parker. Stimulated by English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Herder and Schleiermacher, and the skepticism of Hume, the transcendentalists operated with the sense that a new era was at hand. They were critics of their contemporary society for its unthinking conformity, and urged that each person find, in Emerson’s words, “an original relation to the universe” (O, 3). Emerson and Thoreau sought this relation in solitude amidst nature, and in their writing. By the 1840s they, along with other transcendentalists, were engaged in the social experiments of Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Walden; and, by the 1850s in an increasingly urgent critique of American slavery.

Answer:
the book i’ve chosen is aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe, by benjamin alire sáenz
Explanation:
Aristotle and Dante is a coming of age story set in El Paso, Texas in 1987. The novel follows Aristotle “Ari” Mendoza, and his best friend Dante Quintana. This book is absolutely incredible. The dialogue and plot both flow very naturally, and the characters and their struggles feel strangely real. Ari and Dante‘s relationship is set up wonderfull, and I can’t wait to read other books by this author. It’s easy to get lost in this book, and I definitely recommend reading it.
My favorite quote from the book:
”How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana?”
i hope this helps! :DD
