The second half turns to the modernists themselves and the pluralistic and radical-empiricist ways in which they engaged the world philosophically. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHerwig Friedl's broad and deep examination of American thought, which also incorporates the international context and response, illuminates the global significance of the American intellectual tradition. Tying together all of these essays is the persistent question and problem of an adequate language or terminological framework as one kind of interpretive leitmotif. This reflects the fact that Friedl's sensibility is steeped in a cross-pollination of continental and American thought, a combination that recalls-and is as revelatory as-the work of Stanley Cavell.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHerwig Friedl\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of American Literature and History of Ideas at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Germany.
