“What is enthralling and illuminating about The Metaphysical Club is its portraits of individuals and their milieus. Menand is wonderfully deft at evoking a climate of ideas or a cultural sensibility, embodying it in a character, and moving his characters into and out of one another's lives. What might have been a jumble of intellectual movements and colorful minor figures (...) is instead a subtle weave of entertaining narrative and astute interpretation.” Has BeensIdeasCharacterMightMovingIndividualFiguresMovementIntellectualClimateClubsNarrativeSubtleInterpretationEntertainingMinorsSensibilityPortraitsMetaphysicalMight Have BeenColorfulIlluminatingMilieuAstute Author:George Scialabba

The emphasis has been taken from the Bill of Rights and placed on the type of interpretation of the Constitution that best suits the people in power.” PeopleWayHas BeensCountryGovernmentRunningDifficultTakenRightsTypeConstitutionClaimsBillsUnitySuitsInterpretationCommunistCapitalistRepresentativesEmphasisFascistsBill Of RightsRepresentative Government Author:William Powell
