| Summary | "The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine, March 1844" by Various is a collection of essays, poetry, and articles written in the mid-19th century. The magazine captures various topics of interest and cultural commentary relevant to its time, with one notable piece exploring the philosophical concept of Transcendentalism. It provides insights into the thoughts and perspectives of that era while showcasing the literary flair of the contributors involved. At the start of the magazine, the discussion centers on defining Transcendentalism through a dialogue between a narrator and a friend. The friend expresses disdain for the term without fully understanding its meaning, leading to an exploration of its concepts through references to notable thinkers like Carlyle and Emerson. The opening portion critiques the tendency of writers to satirize the philosophy while emphasizing that even critics may embody its principles unknowingly. This lively examination sets an intellectual tone, inviting readers into a deeper contemplation of spirituality, morality, and reason within the broader framework of 19th-century American thought.
