Frontiers in American Philosophy

This second volume arising from the Frontiers in American Philosophy Conference held at Texas AandM University is "festive, celebrating the diversity of thought and influences in American philosophy," say its editors. In these thirty-six essays, there is no attempt to define an American ethos; in fact, the editors conclude that, even pragmatism, identified by Tocqueville as America's defining attribute, should not be described as a national philosophy. It is, as Gerard Deledalle notes in his essay, "the new universal philosophy, because it is the philosophy of experience and democracy that is any nation's 'manifest destiny.'"Burch, Robert W. is the author of 'Frontiers in American Philosophy' with ISBN 9781585440023 and ISBN 1585440027.
