'An important contribution to the study of the history of American
pragmatism, modern methods of literary criticism and hermeneutics,
and 20th-century Protestant theology. . . . Highly recommended.'
_Choice 'Drawing on fiction and poetry, Lundin illumines the
philosophical issues he explores while never losing the thread of
argument. This could well be one of the more important books
written in recent times, and hopefully it will receive the wide
readership it so richly deserves.' _Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T.
Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke University, and author
of With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural
Theology 'Roger Lundin has provided a powerful 'genealogy of moral
authority'.' _Christianity Today Magazine In this remarkable work,
Roger Lundin seeks the source of American moral and cultural
authority in the shift from nature to experience figured in the
thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson. While the pragmatic tradition
concludes that experience must generate the very light that will
lead us out of its own darkness, From Nature to Experience returns
to religion for illumination and truth. This is a story of
nineteenth-century sources and twenty-first century consequences in
which literature, history, philosophy, and theology are joined in
order to form a truly original critique of American culture.
