Question

What statement from "Nature" best represents Emerson's philosophical vision as presented in the selection?

Answer 1

Answer:

3). Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight does not reside in nature, but in man, or in a harmony of both.

Explanation:

'Nature' is one of the transcendentalist essays of Emerson. The philosophical insight that he reflects in the given selection would be 'the harmony existing between the human and nature.' This vision is reflected through the third statement most appropriately. He talks about this interrelation between nature and man produced by God that brings about unity among the two. He calls this harmony as the 'power to delight' that encourages us as the 'nature is painted by the spirit of our mood.'
