More about the book

Exploring Benjamin Franklin's multifaceted contributions, James Campbell argues for his recognition as a significant American philosopher. While often seen as an inventor and humorist, Franklin's philosophical insights are revealed through his diverse writings, which, though fragmentary, reflect a broad intellectual engagement. Campbell examines Franklin's thoughts on science, religion, morality, and politics, challenging misconceptions about his intellectual depth. Ultimately, he positions Franklin as a precursor to the Pragmatist movement, highlighting his influence alongside later philosophers like Emerson and James.
