The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers
General Editor John R. Shook
The Dictionary of Early American
Philosophers (DEAP) will be published by
Thoemmes
Continuum in 2010.
DEAP joins a growing series of impressive
biographical dictionaries, including the
Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers.
Early American Philosophers were contributors to philosophical thought who lived in the territories of present-day U.S. and Canada from 1600 to 1860. DEAP will include approximately 480 figures, including hundreds of professional educators responsible for teaching philosophy, along with many theologians, social scientists and reformers, political theorists, lawyers, physicians, and scientists.
