‘Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman’

     
More great programming at the School of Practical Philosophy. No need for me to even say anything. From the publicity:

The American Transcendentalists:
Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman

Saturdays, May 10 through June 28
(except May 24)
10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

School of Practical Philosophy
12 East 79th Street
Manhattan




In the Spring term, join in an exploration of the spiritual and intellectual legacy of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, America’s greatest visionaries who can inspire our own work toward self-realization. The Transcendentalists are revolutionary and reflective, and their call is to spiritual insight and universal consciousness. Their writings proclaim and celebrate the need for self-reliance, and a love of freedom and brotherhood—each essential for humanity.

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he, who in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
          Emerson
Self-Reliance
