The core view of transcendentalism is that people can transcend feelings and reason and directly understand the truth. It believes that everything in the human world is a microcosm of the universe - "the world shrinks itself into a drop." Dew" (Emerson's words). Transcendentalists emphasize the essential unity of all things, that all things are subject to the "oversoul", and that the human soul is consistent with the "oversoul". This affirmation of the divinity of man made transcendentalists defy external authority and tradition and rely on their own direct experience. "Believe in thyself", Emerson's famous saying, became the motto of the Transcendentalists. This transcendentalist view emphasizes human subjective initiative, helps break the shackles of Calvinistic dogmas such as "human nature is evil" and "predestination", and lays the ideological foundation for romantic literature that is passionate and expresses individuality. Transcendentalism is a philosophical attitude. It believes that the ideas and concepts formed by the human mind have the nature of autonomous existence, and denies that these ideas and concepts are only reflections of people's changing experience of time. Endows human intelligence with great strength and power, and believes that the reality of experience is to a large extent formed by the concepts constructed or generated by human thoughts. His extreme form is that he believes that the only pillar of the universe is human thought.
