Book Synopsis Time in the Ditch by : John McCumber
Book excerpt: Writing at the intersection of intellectual and disciplinary history and working from documents of the American Philosophical Association and the American Association of University Professors, McCumber illuminates the shift in philosophical method that occurred in the wake of the McCarthy era: from a philosophy that was socially engaged and pragmatic in outlook to a socially disengaged vision that advocated a highly restricted "scientistic" conception of truth, language, and method.
