Emerson and the Conduct of Life: Pragmatism and Ethical Purpose in the Later Work - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
David M. Robinson
Robinson discusses each of Emerson's major later works noting their increasing orientation to a philosophy of the 'conduct of life'. These books represent Emerson's attempt to forge a philosophy based on the centrality of domestic life, vocation and social relations and they reveal Emerson as an ethical philosopher who stressed the spiritual value of human relations, work and social action.
