This paper explores Romano's presentation of philosophy-as-a-way-of-life, as distinct from philosophy-as-an academic discipline, on the American scene. After briefly indicating the nature of his belief in America as philosophical, emphasis is placed on surveying the breadth of philosophical America - from Emerson through Obama, and from psychological therapy through cyber-philosophy - and on Romano's valuable blurring of our fixed ideas about what philosophy is and should be.
