The Hidden God revisits the origins of American pragmatism and
finds a nascent "posthumanist" critique shaping early modern
thought. By reaching as far back as the Calvinist arguments of the
American Puritans and their struggle to know a "hidden God," this
book brings American pragmatism closer to contemporary critical
theory. Ryan White reads the writings of key American philosophers,
including Jonathan Edwards, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, and
Charles Sanders Peirce, against modern theoretical works by Niklas
Luhmann, Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida, Sharon Cameron, Cary
Wolfe, and Gregory Bateson. This juxtaposition isolates the
distinctly posthumanist form of pragmatism that began to arise in
these early texts, challenging the accepted genealogy of pragmatic
discourse and common definitions of posthumanist critique. Its
rigorously theoretical perspective has wide implications for
humanities research, enriching investigations into literature,
history, politics, and art.
