Description
McDermott's reflections take him from a general overview of philosophy in Western culture to Emerson and James' thought in particular. He considers aspects of the American experience--change, pluralism, interrelatedness--as well as the aesthetics of city life, education, and cultural literacy. Whether he writes about education, architecture, or the soul's struggle with inevitable death, McDermott believes that philosophical thinking, when done in the tradition of James, Dewey, and Emerson, can both illuminate American culture and direct Americans towards more satifying forms of experience.
