5.0 out of 5 stars
uncovering America's intellectual heritage,
By
This review is from: The American Hegelians: An intellectual episode in the history of Western America (Hardcover)
This is a remarkable and rigorous book by a first-rate scholar and stylist. It reveals the fact that America's intellectual and philosophical heritage is informed not just by English and Scottish thinkers (Locke, Reid)and French philsophes (Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu) who influenced the early republic, but also by Germany philosphers. Using primary sources, Goetzmann shows how German immigrants in the 1800s imported not only lager beer and sausages, but also the thought and dialectic of Hegel. Goetzmann does a service in uncovering the diversity of our intellectual past.
