Philosophy Americana

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and American culture, Douglas Anderson highlights how professional philosophy remains largely unnoticed in everyday life. He investigates how American philosophers can engage with topics like religion, politics, and literature, while also uncovering philosophical themes in popular music and Beat literature. By examining both renowned and lesser-known figures, Anderson presents a vision of "philosophy Americana," where philosophy and popular culture collaboratively enrich our understanding of contemporary experiences, echoing the ideals of Emerson and James.
