A Thoughtful Profession: The Early Years of the American Philosophical Association

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.

A unique and welcome contribution

A THOUGHTFUL PROFESSION: THE EARLY YEARS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION by James Campbell offers a new examination of the heyday of American philosophy and as such is a top pick not just for college-level holdings, but many a high school strong in introductory philosophy courses. It focuses on two early philosophical associations which merged into what we now know as the American Philosophical Association, and considers not just their evolution and impact, but the philosophers of their major thinker/members: Mary Whilton Calkins, James Edwin Creighton, and James Hayden Tufts, among many others. Informed and informative reading, A THOUGHTFUL PROFESSION is a unique and welcome contribution to personal, academic, and community library History of Philosophy reference collections and reading lists.
