เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet. Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for mankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1, 500 public lectures across the United States.
