A Man of Peace, August 19, 2007
This review is from: Emerson: The Ideal in America (DVD)
The lyrics to Jill Jackson's and Sy Miller's simple, beautiful 1955 song say "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." This DVD, written and directed by David Beardsley, offers an excellent introduction to the life and ideas of an essential American thinker whose pursuit of the indwelling peace that can overcome the world deserves serious attention from every American - and indeed from every person in any country - who is troubled today by the violence and tyranny racking the whole earth and his or her own soul. It is the intention of all those who collaborated on this video biography that those who watch it will be moved to read more by and about Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe this will be its effect on most viewers, and that is a very good thing.

This review is from: Emerson: The Ideal in America (DVD)
This is phenommenal...Not only is it an illuminating glimpse at one of our great early thinkers, but it was an epiphany for me to discover more about Emerson's life that I was not previously aware of.
