Emerson and self-reliance

One of Ralph Waldo Emerson's principle contributions to philosophy is the theory of self-reliance, a view of democratic individuality. George Kateb provides a reading of Emerson that is friendly to the interests of Nietzsche and to later Nietzscheans such as Weber, Heidegger, Arendt and Foucault.
