American Philosophy Past and Present offers the first historically
framed introduction to the tradition of American philosophy and it
contemporary engagement with the world.Born out of the social and
political turmoil of the Civil War, American philosophy was a means
of dealing with conflict and change. In the turbulence of the 21st
century, this remains as relevant as ever. Placing the work of
present-day American philosophers in the context of a history of
resistance through a philosophical tradition marked by a commitment
to pluralism, fallibilism and liberation, this book tells the story
of a philosophy shaped by major events that call for philosophical
reflection and illustrates the ways in which philosophy is relevant
to lived experience. The book presents a survey of the historical
development of American philosophy, as well as coverage of key
contemporary issues in America including race theory, feminism,
indigenous peoples, and environmentalism. It is the ideal
introduction to the work of the major American thinkers, past and
present, and the sheer breadth of their ideas and influence.
