He wrote that "beauty is its own excuse for being" in "The Rhodora" and claimed that "the highest end of government is the culture of man" to argue against property rights.
He wrote that "beauty is its own excuse for being" in "The Rhodora" and claimed that "the highest end of government is the culture of man" to argue against property rights. His reading of the Vedas can be seen in a work defining the title concept as "not a faculty, but a light", "The Over-Soul", and he discussed two failures of historical Christianity in his Divinity School Address. In one work, the speaker says "I am nothing; I see all" after using the metaphor of a "transparent eye-ball". Another of his essays decries conformity and "foolish consistency" and advises "Trust thyself". For 10 points, name this transcendentalist philosopher and author of "Nature" and "Self-Reliance".
