description: In this book, Kuklick traces the continuities between early American theology and scientific philosophy."As a chronicle of the history of speculative thought in America to 1934, Kuklick's work is unmatched." -- Glenn A. Hewitt, International Journal for Philosophy of Religion"A first-rate piece of historical scholarship. Kuklick has a gift for spotting nuance and complexity in philosophical discourse. He writes lucidly and succinctly on weighty and technical topics, and he has a masterful command of the literature. Kuklick also makes us aware of the importance of philosophical and theological ideas in American history." -- John Patrick Diggins, The New Republic"This book is original, thoroughly researched, and formidably argued. Not everybody will agree with Kuklick's argument, but people interested in American thought will have to consider it." -- Henry May, University of California, Berkeley
