Ralph Waldo Emerson espoused a highly unique transcendentalist understanding of nature. In his essays, Emerson puts forward the idea that God and his works are best understood through the careful study of nature. In his view, nature is a perfect reflection of godliness. Meanwhile, society is a reflection of the flaws and faults of humankind. These essays are some of the most important in the annals of American thought.
