Review :
"Marsoobian and Ryder have crafted the much-needed survey of key figures and issues from the major philosophies that originated in America. This Guide delivers an admirable set of clear and concise essays, composed by prominent scholars of American philosophy. Teachers and students will be indebted to The Blackwell Guide to American Philosophy for many years to come." John R. Shook, Oklahoma State University "This volume by many hands fills an important gap about American philosophy, as distinguished from philosophy in America. It is a sophisticated, invaluable guide to American philosophy, richly covering all the main traditions, major figures, and important themes in clear, comprehensive, and very useful fashion." Tom Rockmore, Duquesne University "This is an excellent reference resource on the classical period of American philosophy. It reiterates and reaffirms the idea that history is really a topic of the present, and the essays present stimulating insight on an exciting period of American intellectual life that continues to inform contemporary philosophical issues." Gerald T. Burke, Reference Reviews
