American Polymath This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2012) About American Polymath aims to be an online venue for thoughtful discourse on the cultural and intellectual life of the Republic. This journal of public opinion will serve an American cosmopolitan audience, one which realizes that not all of the continent’s interesting ideas come out of New York and Los Angeles. American Polymath will publish essays, articles, and fiction about the country’s ideas, culture, politics, and social life. The interests and expertise of American Polymath’s core of writers dictate that the primary focus of the publication will be the United States, yet pieces on the rest of North America will be considered enthusiastically. This conscious effort to include the ideas and experiences of all Americans differs from the current affairs and culture magazines currently populating newsstands and the web. American Polymath aims to put the experiences of urban America, rural America, every region, and subculture into conversation with one another.
