This book describes and analyzes an important aspect of American
intellectual history, the climate of opinion in which nine leaders
of progressive thought in America in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries were important creators and spokesmen. By
closely examining the central ideas of these men, Professor Noble
presents an illuminating view of a significant phase of the liberal
tradition in America. At the same time, he questions many of the
generally accepted views about the philosophical basis of
traditional liberalism and demonstrates the paradox of progressive
thought. The social philosophers whose writings and teachings he
scrutinizes are Herbert Croly, long-time editor of the New
Republic; James Mark Baldwin, psychologist and philosopher; Charles
H. Cooley, author of Social Organization; F. H. Johnson, theologian
whose name was linked with Darwinism; Henry Demarest Lloyd,
reformer and newspaperman who attacked the evils of monopoly in his
book Wealth and Commonwealth; Richard T. Ely, economist and early
advocate of Christian socialism; Simon N. Patten, whose work The
Premises of Political Economy lifted him to fame; Thorstein Veblen,
whose Theory of the Leisure Class is a household word today; and
Walter Rauschenbusch, the Baptist clergyman who wrote Christianity
and the Social Crisis and Christianity and the Social Order. In
addition, there is extensive consideration of the thought and
influence of Carl L. Becker, the noted historian and analyst of
thought and philosophy in action.
