Beskrivelse af Materialism In American Thought
Materialism in American Thought is a comprehensive study of the evolution of materialism in America from the colonial period to the early 20th century. Written by historian Robert W. Riley and philosopher Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, the book examines the intellectual and cultural factors that contributed to the rise of materialism in American thought, as well as its impact on American society and culture.The authors begin by tracing the roots of materialism in Europe, particularly in the works of French philosopher Rene Descartes and British philosopher John Locke. They then explore how these ideas were transmitted to America and how they were adapted to the unique cultural and intellectual climate of the United States.Throughout the book, Riley and Woodbridge examine the various forms of materialism that emerged in America, including scientific materialism, economic materialism, and social Darwinism. They also analyze the ways in which materialism influenced American literature, art, and popular culture, as well as its impact on religion and spirituality.Ultimately, Materialism in American Thought provides a comprehensive overview of the history of materialism in America and its role in shaping American culture and society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American thought and intellectual history.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: American Thought: From Puritanism to Pragmatism, by Woodbridge Riley.
