- codemonkey-zeta 5y agoBrilliant! Thank you for pointing this out, I was unaware of this notion. From the first link, > "In the early 19th century the Transcendentalists propagated the idea of a metaphysical Truth and universalism" So it seems it was not a coincidence Emerson stuck out to me when I first read him (Emerson was a foundational Transcendentalist).
