Transcendentalism is a hard word to grasp, so it's important to look at the etymology of it so you can parse its meaning. Trans - to be beyond or across Cen - one hundred Dental - Teeth Ism - the belief of So taken all together, transcendentalism means "the belief that one should have beyond one hundred teeth"
Hope this helps!

"Let people enjoy things", "It's not that deep", "Stop being a hater", No.
You are capable of criticizing something and still enjoying it. Criticism should add to your enjoyment of the thing. Contextualizing and analyzing media is the only true sign that you enjoy it instead of just consume it. Stop selling the straggling iotas of your final brain cell to a fascio-capitalist system that wants to gorge you til you burst. Not consuming anything is better than blindly inhaling whatever is put in front of you without discretion.
Be an intellectual and have respect for yourself so you can have some sugary Wattpad fanfic and a Netflix reality TV show for dessert.

Ralph Waldo Emerson extensively discussed the concept of the Oversoul in his essay titled "The Over-Soul," which was published in 1841 as part of his collection "Essays: First Series."
In the essay, Emerson explores the idea that there is a divine, universal spirit that connects all individual souls and everything in the universe.
Emerson describes the Oversoul as a transcendent and immanent force that is present in nature, humanity, and all aspects of the cosmos. He suggests that the Oversoul is the source of inspiration, creativity, and wisdom, and it unifies all existence into a whole.
Emerson encouraged individuals to seek a direct connection with the Oversoul through introspection, intuition, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.

It is very inch resting being an English Writing student with 3 different disorders that all have obsession/compulsion/impulsivity as symptoms because do I ~like~ Hawthorne or Emerson? No. Am I, perhaps, wasting my time in a library that closes too damn early researching transcendentalism and romanticism and how they lead to a whirlpool that contains gothic literature, surrealism, and sentimentalism because these crotchety old men were out of their gourds but sometimes right? Yes. Yes I am.

Jo's Quest To Control Her Anger (Little Women Origins)
youtube
In her novels, Louisa May Alcott emphasises characters' spiritual transformation when they fall in love with one another. This happens to Laurie when he falls for Amy and to Jo when she falls for Friedrich. How did Louisa May Alcott and other transcendentalists view love? They saw love as something sacred, based on the idea that you build something bigger with your significant other.
