The laws Emerson is concerned with ensure balance in the universe. Thus, every condition has its opposite; for every action there is a reaction, day is offset by night, up by down, even by odd, spirit by matter, and so on. According to Emerson, any excesses practiced by man, such as greed, need to be moderated, or they will create imbalance and eventually lead to destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Waldo Emerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646795202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646795208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.08d","brand":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068148052223,"sku":"9781646795208","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e43e40d-f48d-4533-8fd4-c48ed635236c.jpg?v=1685417316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/compensation-ralph-waldo-emerson-9781646795208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
