Review:
At a time when philosophy in America rendered itself irrelevant, John Smith led the revolt to take back its traditional role as wisdom for living. This volume of essays examines his thought and celebrates his achievement. The essays and the fine Introduction by the editor constitute a rich critical assessment of a subtle and persuasive thinker. --John Lachs, Centennial Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University
