The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers

General Editor John R. Shook

The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers (DEAP) will be published by Continuum in 2011.
DEAP joins a growing series of impressive biographical dictionaries, including the
Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers.

Early American Philosophers were contributors to philosophical thought who lived in the territories of present-day U.S. and Canada from 1600 to 1860. DEAP will include approximately 400 figures, including hundreds of professional educators responsible for teaching philosophy, along with many theologians, social scientists and reformers, political theorists, lawyers, physicians, and scientists.
