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.
