1. Describe the meaning of Transcendentalism (Links to an external site.) and why Song of Myself (Links to an external site.) typifies the genre.

Transcendentalism is built on Immanuel Kant’s philosophy of distinction of individuals between reason and understanding. Reason is the ability to follow instincts and emotions, and understanding is the use of intelligence as artificially imposed by society. Transcendentalists believed that people should ‘transcend’ the limits of intelligence and go beyond society's limits to allow emotions to flow freely. Because of this Transcendentalists valued morality, and since the government infringed on the rights of individuals they believed that the government had no legitimate authority.
