Po svojim idejama i uticaju središnja je ličnost američkog intelektualnog života u 19. veku. Njegovo predavanje pod naslovom Američki učenjak nazvano je „intelektualnom Deklaracijom nezavisnosti“. Uređivao je list The Deal. Smatrao je da je pesnikova uloga da nam pomogne uvideti ono stalno u onomu što je promenjivo i prolazno. Objavio je knjige Ugledni ljudi i Engleske značajke, te zbirke eseja Provođenje života, Društvo i osama, Priroda i Ogledi.[4]
Emerson je većinu svojih važnih eseja prvo napisao kao predavanja, a zatim ih je preradio za štampu. Njegove prve dve zbirke eseja, Eseji: Prva serija (1841) i Eseji: Druga serija (1844), predstavljaju srž njegovog razmišljanja. Oni uključuju dobro poznate eseje „Samopouzdanje“,[5] „Nad-duša“, „Krugovi“, „Pesnik“ i „Iskustvo“. Zajedno sa „Prirodom“,[6] ovi eseji su napravili deceniju od sredine 1830-ih do sredine 1840-ih Emersonovim najplodnijim periodom. Emerson je pisao o brojnim temama, nikada nije zastupao fiksne filozofske postavke, već je razvijao određene ideje kao što su individualnost, sloboda, sposobnost čovečanstva da ostvari gotovo sve i odnos duše i okolnog sveta. Emersonova „priroda“ bila je više filozofska nego naturalistička: „Filozofski posmatrano, univerzum je sastavljen od prirode i duše“. Emerson je jedna od nekoliko figura koji su „zauzeli u većoj meri panteistički ili pandeistički pristup odbacujući stavove o Bogu kao odvojenom od sveta“.[7]

They who made England, Italy, or Greece venerable in the imagination, did so not by rambling round creation as a moth round a lamp, but by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth. ... The soul is no traveller: the wise man stays at home with the soul, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still and is not gadding abroad from himself. p. 78”
