What is theme that emerson develops in the essay, “self reliance”? use textual evidence to support your answer. how does the theme relate to ideas of transcendentalism? use textual evidence to support answer.

The main theme in Emerson's essay on Self Reliance is Individualism. the philophy that emphazises the moral worth of the individual. In it, Emerson urges his readers to be self-suficient, not to follow blindly doctrines but their inner moral compass. He makes the point that a man, in order to be a full being, needs but himself, and sometimes away from society. This can be read along the lines: A man is to carry himself  in the presence of all opposition, as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he.

The textual evidence to support how Emerson's views of individualism relate to ideas of Transcendentalism can be read in the following lines: He who would gather immortal palms must not be hinderted by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. This idea alone is the basis of Transcendentalism, the belief that each person, individually,  has to find an original relation to the universe.
