Beskrivelse af Evolutionism In American Thought
Evolutionism In American Thought is a non-fiction book written by George W. Riley and Arthur C. Woodbridge. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of evolutionary theory on American thought and culture during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The authors examine the various ways in which evolutionary ideas influenced American philosophy, religion, politics, and social attitudes.The book is divided into three parts. Part one provides an overview of the history of evolutionary theory and its reception in America. Part two explores the impact of evolutionary theory on American philosophy and theology, including the rise of pragmatism and the emergence of new religious movements such as Christian Science and Unitarianism. Part three examines the influence of evolutionary ideas on American social and political thought, including the eugenics movement and the progressive era.Throughout the book, the authors argue that evolutionary theory had a profound impact on American thought and culture, shaping the way Americans viewed themselves and their place in the world. They also explore the tensions and conflicts that arose between scientific and religious worldviews, as well as the ways in which evolutionary theory was used to justify social and political inequality.Overall, Evolutionism In American Thought is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the impact of evolutionary theory on American culture and intellectual history. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of science, philosophy, and American culture.THIS 64 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: American Thought: From Puritanism to Pragmatism, by Woodbridge Riley.
