A profession that contemplates timeless truth, philosophy is rarely seen through a historian’s eyes, with its own discrete history and relationship to domestic and international politics. This fascinating, richly detailed account charts the development of professional philosophy in America after the Civil War, focusing on the early years of the American Philosophical Association.
