Abstract

As an outstanding political, philosophical, and literary movement, American Transcendentalism grew during the first half of Nineteenth century. What Transcendentalists believed in was a bond between God and the world, and that God is the origin of everything in nature. Also, God can be found in everything including the soul of every human being which is the place for divinity. The Transcendentalists believed in the oneness of God which is apparent in all religious traditions; they contended if every person has a Divine reason, so he must be free to realize his fullest capacity; in that case the realization of Heaven and Hell would be possible. This article tries to have a closer look at American Transcendental movement in social, philosophical and religious, and literary contexts.
