Abstract
After his conversion to Catholicism in 1844, Orestes Brownson became a strenuous critic of transcendentalism, particularly for its tendencies toward individualism and pantheism and its valorization of a form of "democratic faith." By contrast, Brownson commended a form of "democratic realism" derived from Aristotelian and Thomistic traditions that particularly recognized the need for mediation for human creatures that could not be fully at home in the world.
