Explanation:

An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.

An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.

Here are some examples:

Niagara Falls, the natural wonder in New York, is not the tallest in the country. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.
My brother Jim lives in Kansas. - names preceded by words that describe their status/title are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.

Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement developed in the USA in the 1820s, which focuses on the kindness of people and nature, as well as on people's independence and ability to depend on oneself. It was born in opposition to the intellectualism and spirituality of the time. Consequently, Thoreau's quote reflects his conscious and intentional decision to move to the forest in order to discover the meaning of life and his own independent self.
