Description:
"Wilshire celebrates the heart of a revived American philosophical tradition construed as marking a way of life, a healing reabsorption in what Emerson called the 'always circular power returning into itself.' Philosophy as a path of wisdom, a way of life, links up to 'existential' ways of marking time and timelessness, of finding ecstatic experience, of finding one's way with others. It aims to 're-enchant' a distinctly 'disenchanted' world. . . . American philosophy and culture may not reform itself tomorrow, but it is not absurd to find hope for such reform in Wilshire's book. In these straited times, it breathes fresh air into our lungs." --Edward F. Mooney Journal of Speculative Philosophy
