Reviews
It will be a useful tool in advanced intellectual history classes because it exposes readers to transnational perspectives on US thought that extend beyond the North Atlantic world, where it is too often cloistered....Highly recommended. --C. R. Versen, CHOICE This wide-ranging anthology amply demonstrates the resurgent vitality of American intellectual history as its practitioners push their insights beyond national and disciplinary boundaries, creating a discourse characterized by unprecedented capaciousness and fluidity. What are especially exciting are the fresh forays into the challenging regions of religion and philosophy. No serious student of American thought, past or present, can afford to ignore this book. --Jackson Lears, author of Rebirth of a Nation: The Making of Modern America, 1877-1920 If you thought American intellectual history was provincial and elitist, this eclectic collection demonstrates just how mistaken you were. Covering topics as various, and as essential, as American secularism, 'colored cosmopolitanism, ' relations between John Rawls and Jurgen Habermas, and 'wisdom' literature, leading experts in US and European intellectual history here illustrate, as never before, the wide-ranging richness of the field. These essays, contributed by both veterans and rising stars, provide points of reference and departure that will animate our work for the next decade and beyond. --Suzanne Marchand, author of German Orientalism in the Age of Empire: Religion, Race, and Scholarship (winner of the George Mosse Prize of the American Historical Association) Written by some of the best younger scholars in American intellectual history, with a few of the old guard in a supporting role, these essays demonstrate how far the field has come since New Directions in American Intellectual History (1979). They set an enlarged and imaginative agenda for this and the coming generation of scholars. --Dorothy Ross, Arthur O. Lovejoy Professor Emerita of History, Johns Hopkins University This wide-ranging anthology amply demonstrates the resurgent vitality of American intellectual history as its practitioners push their insights beyond national and disciplinary boundaries, creating a discourse characterized by unprecedented capaciousness and fluidity.
