Résumé
Influenced by the transcendentalism of Coleridge, Emerson’s works may seem to be a renewal of Kantian idealism. But, by promoting intellectual intuition, Emerson gets rid of the essential Kantian distinction between the transcendent and the transcendental. In so doing, Emerson is directly faithful to Coleridge’s absolute idealism. Nevertheless, the rediscovery of the ordinary life leads him, against Coleridge, to recapture the spirit of the Kantian criticism, given that his opposition between ideal life and common life represents the true limitation of the transcendent and transcendental. With his transcendentalism of the ordinary life, Emerson is therefore at the root of the modern philosophy that seeks for a third way between empiricism and idealism.
