Douglas Anderson explores the relationship between American philosophy and other features of American culture, including where in that culture thinking that could be called "philosophical" is to be found.

Trade Review
"Anderson's book has the distinct virtue of inviting serious questions and promising a good argument." -Journal of American Studies Association of Texas "This sprawling work devotes several chapters to American philosphers ... [but] also devotes chapters to visionary environmentalist Henry Bugbee and to Thomas Davidson, the founder in 1899 of the Breadwinners' College... Recommended." -Choice " ... Aims to illuminate what is distinctive about American thought ..." -American Studies
