In this talk, philosophy professor John Kaag will draw from his recent American Philosophy: A Love Story, a book that traces his deeply personal engagement with the American philosophical tradition, from Ralph Waldo Emerson to William James. Hailed as “a lucid, winning blend of autobiography, biography, and serious philosophical reflection” (National Public Radio), Kaag’s American Philosophy raises compelling questions about immanence and transcendence, and how one lives a life worth living in our so-called secular age.
