Title: Wondering
Product review: One star is strange because the book is an enlightening one. However one sentence, p. 375, makes you wonder if the author understands what he himself narrates, a story that begins under the spell of the Civil war: "Pragmatism explains everything about ideas except why a person would be willing to die for one". A case of divided brain? Or maybe of belief that writing an history of ideas does not necessitate reading those who produced those ideas? Read "The will to believe", Mr Menand !
