Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book excavates the conceptions, convictions, and affects underpinning American culture. It proposes Americaâs intrinsic materiality has shaped its identity, not rendering it vapid but rather profoundly human. The author contends that Americansâ focus on tangible reality, facts, and statistics reveals an appetite for what is fundamental and unadorned. Moreover, the nationâs origins as an ideaâ"a sanctuary for ideals and spiritual freedomâ"instilled a reverence for the intellectual dimension of life. The author also highlights the prevalence of ideas in American society, noting that every great American movement has been built on a foundation of abstract conceptsâ"a characteristic amplifying the power of ideas to effect real change in the social and political spheres. The book argues that while the tumult of contemporary American life may give the casual observer the impression of materialism and anti-intellectualism, Americaâs identity is more nuanced.
