Interpreting America

In his new book, Interpreting America, John Ryder makes available for the first time to English-speaking readers Russian views of the full range of American philosophical thought: from seventeenth-century Puritanism through the colonial and revolutionary periods, nineteenth-century idealism, pragmatism, naturalism, and other twentieth-century movements and figures. Using his own accurate translations, he clearly reconstructs a chain of core ideas, emphasizes the most essential concepts of each writer's work, and gives a multidimensional reconstruction of the arguments of each author.

First sentence: Soviet studies of the history of American philosophy tended to focus on philosophic trends and schools of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, on what is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age" of American philosophy.
