Time in the Ditch : American Philosophy and the McCarthy Era

Explores the effects of McCarthyism on American philosophy in the 1940s and 1950s and the possibility that the political pressures of the McCarthy era skewed the development of the discipline. What happens, McCumber asks, when events and pressures go beyond interfering with individual careers to influence the nature of a discipline itself?
