Best Anthology on American Philosophy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The best one volume anthology on American philosophy. All the selections are well chosen, the introductions to each section are very helpful in putting the works in their historical context, and all of the major works are included. If you want a sampling of American philosophy, this is the place to start! The "further reading" section is also very helpful in giving you other places to go for further enrichment.
