What it is about
The project Emerson pursued all his life and never finished: a natural history of the intellect.
Context and history
He wanted to do with thought what Linnaeus had done with plants — describe its operations as one describes species. It remained notes and lectures, gathered posthumously. The most interesting failure in his work.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
