SUMMER '24. And that's all, folks, for the summer '24 course on Americana! Thanks for the smart conversations, in class and on this site. I hope you come away with a stronger interest in the intersection of American philosophy and culture, and see the value of infusing the latter with a greater commitment to the quest for wisdom. Good luck! Or as Mr. Keillor always signed off: "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch"... ... ... AUG 6 - Anderson, ch12-15; McDermott, ch13-14; Romano Parts 5-6. REPORT: Hailey, Isocrates (Romano pt 5); Jada, ---... Remember, for PARTICIPATION credit you want to post at least three distinct comments on the assigned readings PRIOR TO CLASS each week (prior to the DAY of class, if you can manage it).
