As Deppman puts it, "n historical grounds alone the subject deserves to be integrated into the critical conversations"(78). The finest statement of Dickinson's philosophical influences takes place in chapter three-alone worth the price of the book-as it sets out in helpful detail which thinkers were being taught at Amherst Academy and the College, who taught them, what their prejudices and predilections were, which books were read and borrowed in and out of the Dickinson household, and what sort of thoughtful conversations would have been available to Dickinson among her college-age (mostly male) peers. Such public schoolmasters as Isaac Watts make the "mind the site of resistance, study, and experiment" through which a thinker like Dickinson "produces the proto-Kantian results of failure, dissatisfaction, and repetition"(57). Deppman roots Dickinson's critical power in the vocabularies available to her, including Christianity and the radical experimental ethos of Francis Bacon. The first two chapters set out to demonstrate both Dickinson's affinity with contemporary postmodern discourse and her poetry's ability to critique, say, Richard Rorty's insufficient accounting for the other in conversation (37). If this is the strong claim of the book, the weaker claim is that "certain strains in postmodern thought can help make visible central aspects of her poetry, and her poetry has the power to illuminate and respond to contemporary situations"(8). So Dickinson is a postmodern poet, in effect. Her writings constitute an artful appropriation of linguistic experience for philosophical experiment: if experience is mediated, linguistic, processual, and collective, then poetry is the site of especially fruitful investigations because, by instantiating such theories, it can then test and interrogate them. Engaging notions of Gianni Vattimo's "weak thought," Rortian neo-pragmatic "conversation," reader-centric and process-oriented hermeneutic theory, and a generalized anti-foundationalism, Deppman demonstrates that Dickinson's poetry eschews a metaphysics of presence and that her poems do philosophy in their own right. Deppman's careful close readings of rarely discussed (as well as familiar) poems make the case that Dickinson is a post-metaphysical thinker for our time. In Deppman's account, Dickinson, who was familiar with the available philosophical vocabularies of her day, adroitly steers between the Scylla of a materialistic Scottish Common Sense philosophy and the Charybdis of Transcendental idealisms based on Immanuel Kant.
