The Myth Of American Individualism,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Sharpening The Debate Over The Values That Formed America'S Founding Political Philosophy, Barry Alan Shain Challenges Us To Reconsider What Early Americans Meant When They Used Such Basic Political Concepts As The Public Good, Liberty, And Slavery. We Have Too Readily Assumed, He Argues, That Eighteenthcentury Americans Understood These And Other Terms In An Individualistic Manner. However, By Exploring How These Core Elements Of Their Political Thought Were Employed In Revolutionaryera Sermons, Public Documents, Newspaper Editorials, And Political Pamphlets, Shain Reveals A Very Different Understandingone Based On A Reformed Protestant Communalism.In This Context, Individual Liberty Was The Freedom To Order One'S Life In Accord With The Demanding Ethical Standards Found In Scripture And Confirmed By Reason. This Was In Keeping With Americans' Widespread Acceptance Of Original Sin And The Related Assumption That A Welllived Life Was Only Possible In A Tightly Knit, Intrusive Community Made Up Of Families, Congregations, And Local Government Bodies. Shain Concludes That Revolutionaryera Americans Defended A Protestant Communal Vision Of Human Flourishing That Stands In Stark Opposition To Contemporary Liberal Individualism. This Overlooked Component Of The American Political Inheritance, He Further Suggests, Demands Examination Because It Alters The Historical Ground Upon Which Contemporary Political Alternatives Often Seek Legitimation, And It Facilitates Our Understanding Of Much Of American History And Of The Foundational Language Still Used In Authoritative Political Documents.
