In Portraits of American Philosophy eight of America's leading
philosophers offer autobiographical narratives, reminding us that
the life of a scholar is both a personal struggle and an adventure
in ideas. Selected from the prestigious John Dewey Lectures, these
reminiscences provide personal perspectives on how a generation of
scholars faced barriers built on prejudices of religion, race,
gender, and sexual orientation, while being affected by the Civil
Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and feminism. Also explored are
the major themes of post-World War II American philosophy,
including the temporary dominance of logical positivism and then
ordinary language philosophy; the animus between some supporters of
the so-called analytic and Continental traditions; new approaches
to a variety of subfields; and a deepened understanding of how the
history of philosophy can be enriched through concentration on
textual and contextual study. These unique remembrances of people,
institutions, and issues not only chart the history of recent
American philosophy but also present incisive accounts of the
trajectory of American intellectual life as seen through the eyes
of some of its most influential thinkers.
