Book Description
Reviews
'Kuklick's book provides an excellent short introduction to philosophical thinking in America. Although focused on serious critical analysis of representative thinkers, the book also places philosophers and philsophy in a continually changing American society. The careful reader will come away with a much better sense of why philosophical thinking has been important and why it is so marginalized at the start of the twenty-first century.' -- The Journal of American History
'This history of American philosophy from 1720 through 2000 displays the erudition, philosophical sensitivity, and boldness that we have come to associate with the work of Bruce Kuklick, the premier historian of American philosophy ... an invaluable reference source.' -- Richard M. Gale, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
'A History of Philosophy in America is a sustained work of synthesis and primary scholarship ... an exemplary encounter between intellectual history and philosophical thought, and a salutary reminder that our self-styled materialists may really be idealists underneath the skin. ' -- Jonathan Rée, Times Literary Supplement
'Kuklick's tracing of the development of philosophy and its changing role in American society is especially interesting ... an excellent work that would be a welcome addition to the library of any philosopher and anyone with more than a passing interest in philosophy.' -- The Philosophers' Magazine
'The thinkers Kuklick elects to focus on do represent the others of their ilk quite adequately ... Kuklick provides the reader with an excellent perspective on the various thinkers within a clear social context.' -- The Philosophers' Magazine
