N2  - Ambitious scientific accounts of human thought and behaviour have been a mainstay of American intellectual culture since World War II. But if such theories are true, what is the status of our highest words, the vocabularies that orient and inspire our actions? What forms are available today for exploring and embodying such terms as 'good,' 'courage,' or 'justice'? This work considers the rise of the 'postwar sage,' a strand of post-1945 American writing that takes up these questions in distinctive and illuminating ways.
