The Concord School of Philosophy and the Legacy of Transcendentalism

During its ten summer sessions (187988), the Concord School of Philosophy attracted hundreds of attendees who, for intellectual improvement and a glimpse of aging transcendentalists, endured lectures on the classics, philosophy, and comparative religions. This essay explores reporters', attendees', and school leaders' attitudes toward transcendentalism, suggesting why the school sought to downplay the antebellum movement's radical implications.
