Reviews

By re-reading Emerson's biography and writings through the lens of Kantian and, especially, Vedantic philosophies, Daniel A. Campana offers another useful contribution to a postsecular turn in Emerson studies that helps to mediate between earlier postmetaphysical (Cavell) and more recent metaphysical (Urbas) readings. Again, Emerson becomes not only a window to the past but also a mirror to our present
