First published in 1989, this study portrays ordinary Americans, though affected by the upheaval of social and geographical expansion, simply pursuing their personal lives. Sutherland combines dating and marriage customs, life in the gambling dens and more, with memoirs to give a glimpse of the middle class groping its way to the modern world.
Kant's Mathematical World aims to transform our understanding of Kant's philosophy of mathematics and his account of the mathematical character of the world. Daniel Sutherland reconstructs Kant's project of explaining both mathematical cognition and our cognition of the world in terms of our most basic cognitive capacities.
"This engaging personal history dispels the popular notion of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) as merely a combative, eccentric, and unrelenting publicity seeker. The Whistler revealed in these beautifully illustrated pages is an intense, introspective, and complex man, plagued by self-doubt and haunted by an endless pursuit of perfection in his painting and drawing."--Back cover
