Classic American Philosophers: Peirce, James, Royce, Santayana, Dewey, Whitehead. Selections from Their Writings Hardcover - 1995
by Max Fisch
From the rear cover
It is increasingly apparent that American philosophy has had its classical period, corresponding to the Greek classical period - Democritus through Aristotle. America's classical period began just after the Civil War and ended just before the Second World War. Its canon is already nearly fixed, and it includes six philosophers: Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Josiah Royce, George Santayana, John Dewey, and Alfred North Whitehead. The primary purpose of this volume is to introduce these philosophers to readers who do not yet know their writings at first hand. The writings of each of these philosophers is enhanced by a thoughtful introduction to each. The volume as a whole is framed by a detailed introduction exploring these philosophers' place in America's Classic Period of Philosophy. The book is perfect for beginning students of or enthusiasts about American Philosophy and philosophy in general. The text is followed by an appendix which makes suggestions for further readings produced by these classic American philosophers.
