This article focuses on the book "The Rediscovery of America. An Introduction to a Philosophy of American Life," by Waldo Frank. A grandiose enterprise with plenty of precedents. Probably Mr. Frank is himself aware how closely his concepts parallel those of the prophets of his own racial tradition. The author of this article is confident that many readers of Mr. Frank's book will find themselves not merely checking this list but extending it. Even the basis of his argument is, in a sense, classic. For the primitives who created the Garden of Eden legend, subjective concepts were not enough; the ideal state had to have a locus and a climate.
