Professional philosophers have tended either to shrug off American
philosophy as negligible or derivative or to date American
philosophy from the work of twentieth century analytical
positivists such as Quine. Russell Goodman expands on the
revisionist position developed by Stanley Cavell, that the most
interesting strain of American thought proceeds not from Puritan
theology or from empirical science but from a peculiarly American
kind of Romanticism. This insight leads Goodman, through Cavell,
back to Emerson and Thoreau and thence to William James and John
Dewey, as they assimilated to American circumstances and
intellectual habits the currents of European thought from Kant to
Wittgenstein.
