What are the good points and bad points of naturalism and of transcendentalism?

I think transcendentalism is a way to express yourself but you would also have to deal with other people who don't agree or other people who think tradition is more important.

With naturalism I guess everything you say could be justified through nature. I hardly know anything about naturalism though.

Could someone tell me if i'm wrong or add to it? Thanks
