Emerson first sought an answer to the question of a man's place in a "science" of nature. His essay, Nature, was published in 1836, and is the main text by Emerson about transcedentalism. It is divided into 8 parts: 1. Nature A. It is an experience of solitude. B. We have to use the pleasure of nature with some moderation. 2. Commodity A. Nature is perfectly fitted for human beings. B. Nature is something which is alive and surrounds men and which is at their service; however, idndustry is not contradiction with nature: for him, both are complementary. 3. Beauty: He didvides it into 3 elements A. Beauty, as a pleasure in perceiving natural forms, as a relief for men. B. Beauty as "the mark God sets upon virtue." C. Beauty as an object of the intellect.

The human heart was the most valued and sacred organ of the human body. It was used to fuel the sungod. Sacrifice was considered and honor and it showed ones loyalty. It was not considered murdur. For the rain god, child sacrifice was required. The child must cry before death in order for the ritual to work and the rain god to give the aztecs rain. Conquered people were not killed but used as sacrifices. People were also demanded through the tributeary system. Preists would eat body parts in their rituals as well.
