This excellent book, sharply and helpful mediates the recent debates sparked by pragmatist attacks on foundationalism over the 'legitimation crisis' of modernity, and it shows, as no book has done, the specific relevance of these debates to American cultural criticism since Emerson. Part intellectual history, part cultural critique, this provocative book is an effort to shake American thought out of the grip of the nineteenth century-and out of its contingency blues.
