Paperback. Condizione: New. Thinking in Search of a Language explores American literary and philosophical traditions, and their intimate connections, by focusing on two defining strands in the intellectual history of the United States.

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.
