Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson's essay argues, with the force of a manifesto, that society conspires constantly against the individual's own judgement, and that true integrity requires trusting one's own intuition and convictions over inherited custom, popular opinion or even consistency with one's past self.

Its most famous line — a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds — captures the essay's central provocation, and it became a foundational text of American Transcendentalism and a touchstone for later individualist and self-help thought, still widely quoted and assigned nearly two centuries after publication.

One of the most influential essays in American letters, foundational to Transcendentalist philosophy.
