Until now, their influence on the one school of philosophy that is distinctly grounded in the U.S. experience—pragmatism—has been overlooked, along with the intellectual history of how their contributions developed.

To unearth these formative yet forgotten works and influences, Johnson explores their respective untapped archives and unearths a three-generation story of a Hegel that is thoroughly practical, concrete, and alive.
