reviewed History of Philosophy in America, 1720-2000 on January 29, 2019 History of Philosophy in America
I read this years ago. While one might complain the work is either too short for a subject that demands more detail or it is almost right in where it focuses. Even with a certain density the texts sometimes almost reads as glosses. Professor Kuklick explains why in his introduction. This is not a history of all American philosophy but a review of core elements. Professor Kuklich is lucid-a big plus for me. There is a fair amount of American Philosophical Association history that turns out to be useful as well as entertaining. I like how he begins with religion in America as the motivating source of our history of speculative thought but after reviewing pragmatism the basic focus becomes academic philosophy .
This work caused me to look at aspects of American history I had neglected. I read it when I was still actively intrigued by the subject. I highly recommend it.
