Emerson’s mind can be complex since it has resulted from his wide reading of the East and the Western world.
It puts together virtually incompatible values in oriental and occidental thought.

He lays simple the major and changing view of war mainly because it has come throughout the ages. Whereas ancient Greek and Roman heroes valued war believing that to be an honorable and manly activity, it needs to be seen against the wisdom of the Vedas and of course through Emerson’s eye to get to the truth of war.
Emerson can be described as powerful thinker because although most countries have relied heavily upon war and may still take pleasure in it if the need comes up, they have become conscious of the animalistic nature if this kind of rather outrageous activity. Emerson is not blind towards the merits of waging conflict. He will begin his discourse by simply pointing out that folks are knowledgeable by war and they become manly by simply indulging in it. He preserves that many of the most civilized of individuals have stood by the necessity of war.
