Emerson argues that American scholars should break free from European intellectual traditions and forge a distinctly American culture and identity. He calls for a new kind of intellectual independence, one that values creativity, self-reliance, and a deep connection with nature. The American Scholar remains a powerful statement of the American ideal of individualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
