Recensioner i media

"An excellent collection of papers in American philosophy of religion. Containing the classic contributions of the transcendentalists and the original pragmatists, Clanton also includes less familiar, yet equally fascinating, pieces by figures from Royce, Santayana, Alain Locke, Jane Addams, and others. This book provides an ideal guide to the treatments of religion by leading American philosophers." --Chris Hookway, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sheffield
