The Heart of the Problem
Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing, into many things. The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm. The tradesman scarcely ever gives an ideal worth to his subject, but is ridden by the routine of his craft, and the soul is subject to dollars. The priest becomes a form. The attorney, a statute-book; the mechanic, a machine; the sailor, a rope of a ship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Scholar Address (1836)
