Another quick thought: I think the fundamental difference between Anglo-American thought from the Enlightenment on and Continental thought explains a great deal, including (1) the reason traditional Marxism never caught on here, except among some intellectuals who read the Continental philosopners, and (2) most importantly, the reason we and the British, on one hand, and the Continental Europeans, on the other, have such fundamentally different conceptions the world to day, despite the common Judeo-Christian heritage and the origin of so many Americans in Europe.

It also explains in large part why the English are so chary of being intergrated into the European superstate. Our legal systems are fundamentally different.

On another level, this distinction also illuminates a broader sense of Anglo-American exceptionalism.
