"With selections by marginalized thinkers, this Reader rejects the myth that American philosophy is fundamentally male, white, and limited to the United States. It offers a window to the contexts, cultures, and conflicts that shaped Native America, African American, Latin American, and Asian American philosophies, and provides fresh insight into perennial problems in ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology by expanding the philosophical canon. Required reading." -- Derrick Darby, Henry Rutgers Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University, USA "This exciting collection does some very important philosophical work: it opens the epistemological lens by which we can see better the diversity of experience that underlies life in the Americas. Diaz and Foust provide us the tools to construct a much more honest philosophical canon, one with a hemispheric awareness of the importance of multicultural and multiracial perspectives. By showing us the wide range of North and Latin American voices, we are able to put these resources in dialogue with one another and find new ways of thinking for a more humane future." -- José-Antonio Orosco, Professor of Philosophy, Oregon State University, USA "The year is 2021 and what you have here is perhaps the first and only anthology of "American" philosophy." -- Robert Eli Sanchez, Jr., Associate Professor of Philosophy, Occidental College, USA, I can see no reason why this text could not become the new standard for our classes on American Philosophy. Additionally, I am not currently aware of any work on the market which serves the same unique role of The Philosophies of America Reader . I would strongly encourage any interested instructor to consider this text for their courses., With selections by marginalized thinkers, this Reader rejects the myth that American philosophy is fundamentally male, white, and limited to the United States. It offers a window to the contexts, cultures, and conflicts that shaped Native America, African American, Latin American, and Asian American philosophies, and provides fresh insight into perennial problems in ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology by expanding the philosophical canon.
