In today’s class, we discussed about the major influences on the scholars.
In Emerson’s opinion “The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature.” Originally, everything existed individually, without any relation with each other. However, gradually, people’s brains began to link them together, and found the same characters which the objects shared at the same time. While people tried to solve the complex in the nature, the science developed, and they were also getting closer to the essence. As time went, more and more things were connected and human thought were improved by these search of nature.
Another effect on scholars Emerson pointed out is the past mind. And the book’s job is to carry the historical things. And we will talk more about this part in the next day's class.
This post is difficult to follow, because you allow tense to change without reason. See rule 27a in the Harbrace. Be sure that you understand that books can be horrible things if we allow them to dictate to us. According to Emerson, books really have but one purpose, as that representative of the mind of the past. What is that purpose?
