超验主义在新英格兰清教传统与欧洲浪漫主义思潮影响下产生,是美国思想文化界较早对迅速发展的物质主义做出独特思考的一种思潮。爱默生和梭罗分别从理论上、实践上提倡一种符合人的自然本性的生活,批判物质化、庸俗化的社会生活。然而,超验主义理想在现实中遭到漠视甚至扭曲,急功近利的价值观推动了物质主义在美国社会的加速发展。在人类思想资源中,超验主义提供了关于文明发展的另一种思考。
The emergence of transcendentalism under the influence of the New England Puritan tradition and the European Romanticism is a trend of thought that the American intellectual and cultural communities made a unique thinking on the rapid development of materialism earlier. Emerson and Thoreau advocated in theory and in practice advocate a kind of life that conforms to the natural nature of human beings and criticizes materialized and vulgarized social life. However, the ideal of transcendentalism has been ignored or distorted in reality, and the values of quick success and failure have promoted the accelerated development of materialism in American society. In human resources of thought, transcendentalism offers another reflection on the development of civilization.
