摘要:
"A Philosopher's Story is the autobiography of a prominent philosopher whose interactions with other leading thinkers and experiences at major institutions of higher learning over a period of more than fifty years make this an informative introduction to the intellectual life of late twentieth-century America. During his academic career, Morton White has been involved in a number of controversies that have raised profound issues. One concerned the role of religion at Harvard in the 1950s; another was precipitated by the student rebellion at Harvard in the 1960s; and a third surrounded the question of academic governance at the Institute of Advanced Study during the 1970s.
Throughout his academic career he has been an intellectual bridge-builder who has tried to avoid the pitfalls of woolliness and obscurity while uniting his widely spread interests."--BOOK JACKET.
