| Samenvatting: | Western philosophy owes the United States of America two original trends of thought: transcendentalism and pragmatism. The present debate on the influence of Emerson on Wittgenstein raises the problem of the relation between Mind (as a national entity) and any individual thinking subject of a nation.

Or is “each man a state”, in other words “the root and seed of democracy”, as Emerson, and John Dewey after him, thought? |
