-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nominalist and Realist


Nominalist and Realist (1844), by Ralph Waldo Emerson, is an essay Emerson wrote specifically as part of Essays: Second Series and in order to explore the ideas that contributed to his formulation of the philosophy of transcendentalism. It contains the author's reflections on the platonic school of philosophy and its tendency toward excessive abstraction and overgeneralization.
