This week, we speak about mental health.

It's Mental Health Week here in the UK - and the theme is nature. We look at our inner drives, and how the scientific development has been birthed from the Enlightenment, covering the birth of empiricism and rationalism.

From Rene Descartes, David Hume, John Locke,  Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer, we look at some of the concepts that have given birth to modern day science and philosophy (from Wikpedia, mixed with my uneducated mind).

Finally we look at Ralph Waldo Emerson, who wrote many works that inspired individualism through the US in the 1800s - reading one of his first essays -one that fits the theme of this year's Mental Health Week, "Nature."
