Explanation:
The notion that person is at his greatest when he is unrestrained of organised politics or religion is an illustration of transcendentalism. Ralph Waldo Emerson's remark "a man in poverty is thus far a slave" is an illustration of transcendentalism.
Transcendentalism is alive and well in today's society. Song lyrics, artwork, newspapers, newspaper columns, television programs, TV ads, films, poetry, novels, autobiographies, and other works contain many examples of transcendentalist concepts.
