Emerson's Metaphysics: A Song Of Laws And Causes (American Philosophy Series) - 9781498524506

This book gives the first complete, fully historicized account of Emerson's metaphysics of cause and effect and its foundational position in his philosophy as a whole. Joseph Urbas proposes an intellectual biography of Emerson the metaphysician but also the life-story of a concept synonymous, in the Transcendentalist period, with life itself--the story of the principle at the origin of all being and change.
