Thoreau was a philosopher of nature and its relation to the human condition. In his early years he followed Transcendentalism, a loose and eclectic idealist philosophy that argued that an ideal spiritual state transcends, or goes beyond the physical and the empirical, and that intuition is achieved through personal intuition rather than religious doctrine. In its opinion, nature is the outward sign of the inner spirit, expressing the "radical correspondence of visible things and human thoughts. For the transcendentalists, the soul of each individual is identical to the soul of the world and contains what the world contains. Transcendentalists worked with the feeling that the advent of a new era was within reach. They were critical of their contemporary society for their unreflective conformity, and urged each individual to seek "an original relationship with the universe. The vast majority of transcendentalist writers and thinkers came from the State of Massachusetts, and had been educated at Harvard University. The midth-century transcendentalist ideas about spiritual and social structure was a major influence in later Utopian movements. Transcendentalism became a consistent movement with the establishment of the Transcendental Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on September 8, , by leading New England intellectuals. Henry David Thoreau was an American author who was greatly influenced by Transcendentalism.
