Contemporary American Philosophy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025572338)

"Contemporary American Philosophy" is a seminal collection that captures the vibrant and diverse intellectual landscape of early twentieth-century American thought. Edited by George P. Adams and William Pepperell Montague, this first volume brings together personal statements from some of the era's most influential thinkers, offering a unique glimpse into their individual philosophical journeys and core beliefs.

The work serves as a comprehensive survey of the various schools of thought that dominated the American academic scene during a period of significant growth and transformation. By inviting contributors to articulate their own personal creeds, the editors provide readers with a first-hand account of the development of pragmatism, idealism, realism, and naturalism. These essays not only explore abstract metaphysical and epistemological questions but also reflect the social and cultural concerns of the time.

Essential for students of American intellectual history and philosophy, "Contemporary American Philosophy" remains a vital resource for understanding the foundations of modern academic inquiry. It provides a rare opportunity to see how the major figures of the age synthesized historical traditions with the pressing challenges of the early modern era, making it an indispensable addition to any collection of philosophical literature.
