Compare American Philosophy before Pragmatism by Russell B. Goodman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Russell Goodman tells the story of the development of philosophy in America from the mid-18th century to the late 19th century. The key figures in this story, Jonathan Edwards, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, the writers of The Federalist, and the romantics (or "transcendentalists")Emerson and Thoreau, were not professors but men of the world, whose deep formative influence on American thought brought philosophy together with religion, politics, and literature. | American Philosophy before Pragmatism by Russell B.
