1) No; the romantics are not biologists – they do not advocate for anyone to “study” nature; what source are you relying to on this idea? Rethink please.
2) The role of nature is important, but its role is quite different than some may assume –
3) RETHING YOUR INTRODUCTION – IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE NOT ON A STRONG POSITION
4) Which text by Emerson are you addressing in your first body paragraph?
5) Be very careful on your quotes…
6) I am not clear on your paraphrase of the quote by Emerson
7) I THINK YOU ARE ON THE A FIRM GROUND WHEN YOU RELATD ‘NATURE’ TO ‘INDIVIDUALISM’ – BUT BOTH IDEAS ARE COMPLEX IN THEIR INTERACTION AND PURPOSE; QUESTIONS????????
8) Since Herman Melville is also a romantic author of practically the same era, his work also addresses ideas that relate back to Emerson. His most famous novel is Moby Dick – where the white whale exposes the threat nature has to certainty about ourselves in the universe. Humanity cannot conquer the essences of reality through nature, unlike Emerson – optimistically – thought.
