McCarthyism and philosophy in the United States

Article Abstract:

In John McCumber's latest publication "Time in the ditch: American philosophy and the McCarthy era, it is argued that John fails to justify answers to the questions raised in terms of the impact of academic philosophy in the United States. Some problems with McCumber's externalist account are discussed, and a brief sketch of a more plausible internalist account of the ascendancy of analytic philosophy is given with a contribution to a discussion of the long submerged issues raised by McCumber's book is attempted at.
