啓蒙主義の恩恵、個人の自由に関する哲学、信仰に対する基本理念、共和制民主主義の信条などの思想を背景に持つ米国の発展を論じる際、ジェファソン、エマソン、デュボイス、アダムズ、フリーダン、ローティらの存在は欠かせません。多領域をまたぐ超越主義や社会進化論、保守主義、ポストモダニズムなどの運動が重要な原動力となってきたこと、自由、相互信頼、市場、倫理性などの概念、ときには真実さえもが米国人にとっては規範にも激しい論争の要因にもなってきたことを概括します。
   

  • Examines the history of American thought from the pre-contact period to the present day
  • Written by one of the most distinguished intellectual historians of her generation
  • Contains insights into key moments of American intellectual transformation, from the Enlightenment, transcendentalism, and Social Darwinism to progressivism, conservatism, and postmodernism
  • Explores American history by way of ideas, thinkers, and intellectual movements

  
Long before the United States was a nation, it was a set of ideas, projected onto the New World by European explorers with centuries of belief and thought in tow. From this foundation of expectation and experience, America and American thought grew in turn, enriched by the bounties of the Enlightenment, the philosophies of liberty and individuality, the tenets of religion, and the doctrines of republicanism and democracy. Crucial to this development were the thinkers who nurtured it, from Thomas Jefferson to Ralph Waldo Emerson, W.E.B. DuBois to Jane Addams, and Betty Friedan to Richard Rorty. This addition to Oxford's Very Short Introductions series traces how Americans have addressed the issues and events of their time and place, whether the Civil War, the Great Depression, or the culture wars of today.
  
Spanning a variety of disciplines, from religion, philosophy, and political thought, to cultural criticism, social theory, and the arts, Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen shows how ideas have been major forces in American history, driving movements such as transcendentalism, Social Darwinism, conservatism, and postmodernism. In engaging and accessible prose, this introduction to American thought considers how notions about freedom and belonging, the market and morality-and even truth-have commanded generations of Americans and been the cause of fierce debate.
