A philosophical term referring to the 19th-century American transcendentalist movement. Often used in academic or historical contexts. The cross-reference 超越主義 is a synonym.
See also: 超越主義
超絶主義はエマーソンやソローによって提唱された。
Transcendentalism was advocated by Emerson and Thoreau.
Synonym; both refer to transcendentalism. 超絶主義 is less common and may carry a slightly more emphatic nuance due to 超絶 (transcendence/superb).
Compound of 超絶 (transcendence, superb) and 主義 (principle, -ism). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is used to translate the Western philosophical concept of transcendentalism.
