e_reader37 's review for:
The Age of American Unreason
by Susan Jacoby
I picked up I this book because after this election, I wanted to understand how we as Americans came to have the differing philosophies. Jacoby's book is staggering in its scope and I see it as a primer, a way to begin to dig into the complicated issues of American cultural democracy and philosophies.
I certainly don't agree with all her points, and at times it comes across that she is merely venting about aspects of our culture. But using this book and Jacoby's main points, in conjunction with her extensive bibliography, can point me in the direction of discovery.
35 pages of nots later, and I'm still ruminating on the book. A thought-provoking and intense read.
