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. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aPhilosophy, American$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, American 615 0$aPhilosophy, American$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, American. 676 $a191 700 $aWard$b Roger A., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01074589 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996354145303316 996 $aConversion in American philosophy$92578679 997 $aUNISA
