Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism developed largely in America during the early 19th century. It is an American religious, philosophical, literary and political movement that happens to have a very straightforward concept. Transcendentalism stresses the importance of men and woman and how they themselves are better off being independent and self-reliant. People that go and look beyond what they see, feel, touch, etc. know more about themselves and the world around them.
