- 10573: Emily Dickinson
- ... but she alone abandoned their religion and opposed the Church. She, like many of her peers, had rejected the rigid traditional views in favor of adopting the new transcendental perspective. This emergence of Transcendentalism, Dickinson’s restrictive home life, her refusal to conform, and the smothering control of institutional religion contributed to Emily Dickinson’s attitudes toward life, death, and spirituality. Massachusetts before the transcendental period was the center of religious customs founded by the Puritans.

- 10575: The Unity Of The Mind And Body
- ... argues that a mind groomed in imagination is the proper mode of finding bodily health. In their writings, both Montaigne and Donne are seeking a unity between the mind and the body. By comparing Montaigne s Essays and the poetry of Donne, it is evident that the means for unifying the mind and body can vary for different people. Montaigne s general philosophy on the relationship between the mind and the physical health of the body is one that associates a healthy existence with a healthy mind. His idea of a healthy mind is that which is learned through the studies of the great thinkers of the past, and steered clear of being taken control of by the omnipotent imagination.

Montaigne links these few genres of education directly to the well ...

- ... like a graduate student sits on the door of his unpretentious dormlike room, spooning noodles from a plastic container. His glasses are smudged, his clothes are wrinkled, and his hair is tousled like a boy's. Yet this is an office, not a dorm room.
