ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I wish to thank my editor, Ileene Smith. Much of what is beautiful or right about this book can be attributed to the guidance that she and her team at FSG provided; many of the places that remain rough or stilted represent moments when I chose to ignore her advice. I cannot thank Ileene, her colleague John Knight, and my agent, Markus Hoffmann, enough for believing in the project, for seeing it through to completion.

I would like to thank Douglas Anderson. I met Doug when I was seventeen, in my first term at college. Over the next decade, he exposed me to the meaning and spirit of American philosophy—its openness, its diversity, its hidden origins, and its existential depth. He had visited Ernest Hocking at West Wind in the 1980s and had passed on the knowledge of the library many years before I discovered it for myself. He was my closest friend as I went through my early months at West Wind. There are many moments of experience that should have made it into the book, but didn't—building a fire with Doug on the upper fields above the Hocking library is one of them. We talked through the night, about Holden Chapel and Pauline Goldmark and all the other things that “good philosophers” are meant to outgrow. Mark Johnson, John J. McDermott, Scott Pratt, Erin McKenna, Victor Kestenbaum, Marilyn Fischer, David Leary, Claire Katz, Dan Conway, and Michael Raposa joined Doug as my trusted teachers and mentors in the American philosophical tradition. I thank each of them for reading early drafts of this manuscript and providing invaluable feedback.

The transition from academic scholarship to writing for a general audience is not an easy one. If you are trained as a professional philosopher (and expected to master the jargon that often comes with it), it is especially difficult. At least it was for me. I would like to thank a number of individuals who made this transition easier: Jean Tamarin, Alex Kafka, Peter Catapano, Simon Critchley, Emily Stokes, Joe Kloc, Phil and Gordon Marino, Rebecca Attwood, Jill Lepore, Andre Dubus III, and Evan Goldstein. My time at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as a Visiting Scholar in 2008 gave me the chance to think through James's lesson from Holden Chapel, and I want to thank Patricia Meyer Spacks and David Sehat for the encouragement they offered during this difficult time. David particularly pushed me to integrate philosophical speculation with the pointedly personal and psychological challenge of daily life. I would also like to thank the administration and my colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Lowell for their continued support. Clancy Martin—one of the few philosophers I know who successfully bridges the divide between philosophical and creative writing—has been a consummate mentor in the drafting of
American Philosophy: A Love Story.
