add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism," by Alan Ryan. The books focuses on the life and works of U.S. philosopher John Dewey. The preface declares an intention to explore transatlantic intellectual history in a way that will undermine the cliché that Dewey was a quintessentially American thinker. Ryan's lifelong study of British liberalism puts him at a disadvantage when his relative unfamiliarity with American history and the left reveals itself, confounding his efforts to describe the politics of a thinker whose life stretched from the Civil War to the cold war and often intersected with radicalism.
