Overview: The epic wisdom contained in a lost library helps the author turn his life around
In American Philosophy, John Kaag–a disillusioned philosopher at sea in his marriage and career–stumbles upon a treasure trove of rare books on an old estate in the hinterlands of New Hampshire that once belonged to the Harvard philosopher William Ernest Hocking. The library includes notes from Whitman, inscriptions from Frost, and first editions of Hobbes, Descartes, and Kant. As he begins to catalog and preserve these priceless books, Kaag rediscovers the very tenets of American philosophy–self-reliance, pragmatism, the transcendent–and sees them in a twenty-first-century context.
