Washington's Farewell Address comprises various aspects of
American political thinking. It reaches beyond any period limited
in time and reveals the basic issue of the American attitude toward
foreign policy: the tension between Idealism and Realism. Settled
by men who looked for gain and by men who sought freedom, born into
independence in a century of enlightened thinking and of power
politics, America has wavered in her foreign policy between
Idealism and Realism, and her great historical moments have
occurred when both were combined. Thus the history of the Farwell
Address forms only part of the wider, endless, urgent problem.
Felix Gilbert analyzes the diverse intellectual trends which went
into the making of the Farwell Address, and sheds light on its
beginnings.
