After training in philosophy at Princeton University he embarked on a long and active career as professor, lecturer, and writer. His many books on a wide variety of philosophical topics have established him as one of the most productive and versatile contributors to 20th century philosophical thought, combining historical and analytical investigators to articulate an amalgam of German idealism with American pragmatism. The book accordingly has two dimensions, both as a contribution to German-American cultural interaction and as a contribution to the history of philosophical ideas 606 $aPhilosophers$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a192 700 $aRescher$b Nicholas$050144 702 $aRescher$b Nicholas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816343703321 996 $aAutobiography$94012337 997 $aUNINA
