Abstract: American Transcendentalism，which flourished in the 1830s and 1840s in the United States under the influence of European Romanticism，is generally considered as one of the most significant philosophical and literary movement in America. Drawing on unitarianism，German idealism，and Puritanism，Ralph Emerson and some other transcendentalists，redefines individual，nature，and God，and the relationship between them as well，thus pushing American Romanticism to its summit.

Key words: American Transcendentalism, Unitarianism, idealism, Puritanism

摘要： 美国超验主义是在欧洲浪漫主义的影响下，美国19世纪30年代至40年代兴起的一次思想文化解放运动。以爱默生为首的超验主义思想家汲取了唯一神教、唯心主义和清教主义的相关思想，重新阐释了人、自然和上帝以及他们之间的关系，进而把美国浪漫主义推向了高潮。
