John William Miller's radical revision of the idealistic tradition
anticipated some of the most important developments in contemporary
thought, developments often associated with thinkers like
Heidegger, Benjamin, Foucault, Derrida, and Rorty. In this study,
Vincent Colapietro situates Miller's powerful but neglected corpus
not only in reference to Continental European philosophy but also
to paradigmatic figures in American culture like Lincoln, Emerson,
Thoreau, and James.
The book is not simply a study of a particular philosopher or a
single philosophical movement (American idealism). It is rather a
philosophical confrontation with a cluster of issues in
contemporary life. These issues revolve around such topics as the
grounds and nature of authority, the scope and forms of agency, and
the fateful significance of historical place. These issues become
especially acute given Colapietro's insistence that the only
warrant for our practices is to be found in these historically
evolved and evolving practices themselves.
