American Studies, by Louis Menand. When people think of philosophy, they usually think of dead guys from Europe. Little do they realize that American thought has its own rich tradition of dead guys and a few living ones too. Reading American Studies is like popping open a sampler box of fine chocolates. The book is filled with fine essays that are each fun, delectable, and satisfying. Menand, in his witty, insightful and energizing way picks out fascinating Americans and their ideas and reveals the impact their thought and work has had upon our modern culture.
