After the Enlightenment is the first attempt at understanding
modern political realism as a historical phenomenon. Realism is not
an eternal wisdom inherited from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes,
but a twentieth-century phenomenon rooted in the interwar years,
the collapse of the Weimar Republic, and the transfer of ideas
between Continental Europe and the United States. The book provides
the first intellectual history of the rise of realism in America,
as it informed policy and academic circles after 1945. It breaks
through the narrow confines of the discipline of international
relations and resituates realism within the crisis of American
liberalism. Realism provided a new framework for foreign policy
thinking and transformed the nature of American democracy. This
book sheds light on the emergence of 'rational choice' as a new
paradigm for political decision-making and speaks to the current
revival in realism in international affairs.
