From Jonathan Edwards to Cornel West, Ward threads the history of American thought into an extended, multivalent encounter with the religious experience. Looking at Dewey, James, Peirce, Rorty, Corrington, and other thinkers, Ward demonstrates that religious themes have deeply influenced the development of American philosophy.This innovative reading of the American philosophical tradition will be welcomed not only by philosophers, but also by historians and other students of America's religious, intellectual, and cultural legacy.American philosophy series ;Volume 13.Philosophy, AmericanHistoryPhilosophy, AmericanPhilosophy, AmericanHistory.Philosophy, American.191Ward Roger A., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1074589DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996354145303316Conversion in American philosophy2578679UNISA
