An American counterpart to Bertrand Russell`s History of Western Philosophy, this book tells the story of the growth of philosophical thinking in the USA, in the context of the intellectual and social changes of the times.
Kuklick sketches the genesis of these intellectual practices in New England Calvinism and the writing of Jonathan Edwards. He discusses theology in the 18th and 19th centuries and the origins of collegiate philosophy in the early part of the 19th century. We see the development of secular preconceptions and the emergence, after Darwin`s writings of the mid-late 19th century, of forms of thought hostile to religion.
Philosophy is situated in a variety of cultural contexts - the ministry, the growing system of higher learning, the conflict between philosophers and theologians and between amateur and professional thinkers, the suspicion of European ideas, and worries about the relevance of philosophy to public and political life.
Kuklick`s narrative portrays such great thinkers as Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, C.I. Lewis and Wilfrid Sellars.
